Is asking your friends to vote your HN postings to the front page ok?
anonjon: Why can't it be weighted so that if one person up votes the same person all of the time, the up votes start to count for less.Or if one person up votes more in general his up votes count for less.Could be the same with down votes as well.Would be a pretty easy system and would keep people from spamming up votes. Maybe people would choose a bit more wisely about who it is that they give points to.
