You need to let the site fail gracefully if JavaScript isn't enabled.

You can't even view the about-page without JS.

From your description it isn't clear what will happen if you run out of votes. Do they regenerate over time?

What's keeping the top-voted from keeping all his votes to him self and ruining the "economy" that way?

You only get votes when another user votes on something you post. The original source of all votes is an administrator/editor with unlimited votes. If there were rampant hoarding, maybe some sort of stimulus package would be in order, like giving all users free votes, but I have no plans for that.
