And I don't know if it would be a good idea to let us rate our own 
sequences.
Perhaps that is a good idea.
But in any case, and especially if we are allowed to rate our own 
sequences, maybe we should all only be allowed one vote per sequence.

Also it occurs to me that there could be people (including those on 
probation) whose vote is not totally blocked, but their vote only counts 
for half (or some fraction) as much as most raters' votes.
