I've always thought it was MORE democratic that if you really like a fish you should be able to upvote it more than if you just kind of like it -- same with downvoting.

If you have an anonymous user, you can register their userId. So someone did that with the palestine fish, hence the username. I knowingly added this vuln to the design bc there's very little someone can gain from registering claiming an account for the fish and the stakes for a fish website are pretty low IMO.
