I have seen many a democratic initiative ruined by trolls, bot accounts, duplicate accounts, and assholes. The best way to ensure that democracy doesn’t spiral into Haiti is to allow only financial contributors of $5 or more to vote (once the boss man has his contributions system up and running). You want to help build this community? OK, then put your money where your mouth is. To be clear, it should still be one vote per person, whether you donate $5 or $500.

Nay.

I agree duplicate accounts can and will be an issue, but I believe that donor-only voting is not the answer.

Although, if someone gives me a substantial donation, I might be convinced otherwise… /s
