A week or so ago I raised the minimum karma to vote to 200 points, hoping it would reduce some of the drive-by downvoting (it did)...but it also has reduced voting overall, which wasn't the intent.
I just changed the requirement to vote from 200 to 20 so hopefully that only stops the very new spam accounts and doesn't prevent the rest of folks from voting.

Thanks. Looking forward to finding the right balance here as well as the rise of legitimate engagement.
