<p>This site allows any user* to vote +/- on <em>any</em> question and <em>any</em> answer (unless some very specific circumstances), you can like it or not. The natural consequence is that the older Q&amp;A's and the more popular ones, get more votes because they are more visible, they had more time to accumulate the votes. If you don't agree with some vote, you can give an opposite one. This is <strong>not</strong> something that we can change, as this is a <strong>general feature</strong> of the StackExchange network and we have no influence on it whatsoever. If you wish, you can post a feature request on <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/">http://meta.stackexchange.com/</a>, but I doubt that it would have any chances of succeeding, because this is how this network works from the beginning.</p>

<p><sub>
* - More precisely: any user with reputation at least 15 to vote up or with reputation 125 to vote down, as noted by Nick Cox.
