In fact, I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before... by another leader in finding quality on the internet... What you've got there is the social networking equivalent of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank" rel="nofollow">PageRank</a>. Just swap out "webpage" for "digg user" and "hyperlink" for "digg vote". Every user gets a certain quota of positive votes (call it mojo or karma or whatever) for every N timeperiod (N = day or week or something) and they can spread it around, either thick or thin. Nice one, Hubs. That’s a pretty good idea. In fact, I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere before… by another leader in finding quality on the internet…
