I want to propose something that may or may not be controversial, but I've given some clear thought on how we can help certain images stand out more. I've noticed that there are many picture in this site that have more people that favorite the picture than upvotes in the score. Well, why don't we have a default setting that automatically increments the score of a picture when a user adds it to their favorites list. Of course, this feature can be turned off manually by the user, if he wishes, but it would help popularize certain images that are sorted by order:score by adding the number of people who have it on their favorites on the list.
What do you think? Is this a good idea?
