Could verified whitebelts' votes be worth 1 point?

We whities are obviously the students of higher belts, and we can certainly, at the very least, vouch for their characters, attitudes, and teaching skills. Wouldn't it be kinda nice (and useful) if our votes on profiles could be worth even a nominal 1 point? Or are we totally worthless amoebas until we (hopefully) eventually turn blue at some point?

I think 0 points make sense. It takes no requirements to become a verified white belts (0 points). Therefore someone would be able to make 200 fake white belt accounts and verify a blue belt. Ok would have to fake the ID on all of them and it is kind of a far fetched scenario :D But regardless, I think that if your rank requires nothing to acquire, then your voting weight should also be nothing.

You can still vote and if it worth 0 or 1 point doesn't really make a difference anyway. Your comments "count" something though and once you're promoted, all your old votes will be updated to +20 points.
