Yeah, I misunderstood what you were saying. Now I see you want a general "default" vote. I think best coding for that would be for the post slider to "stick" where you set it so you could still vote higher or lower on each post individually.
Maybe even a text box in your settings to set "default vote" and your individual slider would always start there.
Yeah! Exactly! Now there's an idea. Sounds like you're a coder as well so you probably have a much more educated opinion on executing this than I do.
I just feel like this issue is so minuscule. It seems so simple to me, let the people choose their own vote weight.
