Can any of you explain what this accomplishes? If someone votes on something without "learning what the wiki is about" is that really going to hurt anyone? It will be one or two votes at the most. Are you all just scared that perhaps some new user from another wiki will say something completely irrelevant to the discussion and convince some people to change their votes and thus harm the community? :O And by blocking that completely plausible situation, you will also potentially shield the community from expert advice and viewpoints from more successful wikis.

So just, why?
