So, I've noticed something...

Even when we use the QualVote template to inform users about vote requirements, people who don't meed the requirements STILL try to vote anyway! I recall telling a few people about not qualifying to vote and to not vote when you don't qualify because it fucks up the vote count, but whenever they respond, they always respond with "I can still say my opinion."

So, it's quite clear that all newbies disregard the system because "opinions", causing confusion amongst users trying to count up the votes, since now they have to take a few minutes to look at the accounts of the users voting to make sure that there isn't any newbies fucking up the vote count, unless it's common knowledge that a user has been around for a long time. Vote counting SHOULD be simple and fast (aside from skimming through debate comments), not long and tedious.

So, perhaps we should give these newbies warnings (or some sort of punishment) for fucking up the vote count?

Please state any additional reasons for supporting or opposing.
