I find Fergus's principle quite interesting. I like these threshold effects that lower the value for those who like everything. Looks fair to me.
Concerning own's vote, I wouldn't be upset if they were simply made impossible. To compensate, as I said earlier, let the author having the possibility of declaring that this variant is among his ones he prefers. If he puts this "badge" on all of his variant, then, he will simply spoil his chance to make a distinction.
To illustrate with my own case. I will ok to say that my vote on Shako, Metamachy, TerachessII is removed because I am the author. But I would put a "badge" on them, and not on Perfect 12, Exchess or Teramachy which are not my preferred game. It is an interesting information I can give to the reader.
