So I'm thinking about all the unregistered lurkers we have and I wonder what would happen if they could vote! You are probably thinking "wtf grspec! have you gone insane?" possibly but hear me out on this.



Showing lurker votes would be kind of cool becuase you could see how the video fairs in lurker land vs the votes it received from sifters. These votes would have no effect on a video getting out of the queue but would serve as another statistic for the video. If you wanted you could even show a top 15 lurker videos.



You might be thinking "why then would the lurker sign up if he can vote!" What I would propose is to give each lurker only 5 votes or 10 per day. That why they can get a taste for voting without becoming a member, I think this might possibly increase their chances of signing up to receive the rest of the fine features available to members.
