Hello, quantumgravity and all, sorry for the delayed answer.
I read this thread way too late last monday and I apologize for that, this last week has been a bit complicated for me although I understand that's not an excuse for leaving a reasonable request unattended and much less for not having worked before on the voting system which I agree has long-standing issues that deserve our attention.
First of all, I'd like you to understand that we don't ignore these issues, we set up the voting system a long time ago to prevent some specific behaviours and the community and its needs have evolved since then. As other aspects of the current site, it's not that easy to change this system into an ideal solution but it can be improved to some extent.
Since I got up-to-date with the forum threads, I've been working on improving the behaviour of this function and hopefully will soon have some changes ready to address your concerns.
@quantumgravity, I tried to reach you by email but it didn't work and then I realized your statement regarding this email address at your profile page. Can you please contact me again providing some new address so I can write you back?
