Your reply is a bit confusing for me.

Imagine you decided to just say "fuck it" and started downvoting everything that came down the line. Or upvoting your own comments. Not like 40 like 200 or 400 or something in a day.

Yeah, you would pay on subsequent days down the line because it would take you 5 days regain your full power and start over. But on that one day where youre voting like a madman, you would have far more influence than you normally do.

someone like blacklist, for example, or asshole, who is only here to be a nuscience, can concentrate their nuscience-ness all into one day, by mortgaging their voting power on later days.

Im not sure im entirely convinced that any more penalty than the normal degradation of your power is necessary, but i think thats what liberosist is getting at.
