get ~25 karma, then you can

Not to be an old-timer snob (because I haven't actually been here very long, but I hung onto reddit from the start until I couldn't take it any longer, and I really like the current style here)... anyway...

Here's an idea: Don't allow people to up-vote on ANYTHING (stories or comments) until they get a karma of 25.
