It is true that you can't be voted up until people rate you, but you
can't be voted down either, it works both ways. It seems most people
are checking back fairly often, I looked at the size of the db tables
and there were 531 ratings out of a possible 676, over 78%
I don't think it will change things but that is an empirical question
worth investigating. Since we are still in beta, I will reset all the
ratings once we reach 35 members and we can start over.
