How Can We Encourage More Voters?

Also in opposition to the above arguments of that proposed method potentially causing more shit "fv" votes, why not just limit the characters of the voting box to something like 10 (or more) characters minimum? With an actual message that says "Explain your vote!" when you try to post under that on some "fv gb" shit.

I said the character thing in the chatbox earlier today. That change would just make total sense.

I like this idea. I'm also making more of an effort to tag newcomers in the forums and get them involved. I think the forums are a big part of retaining members. Bringing them into the community so to speak.
