Being biased because of their general reputation would mean that if they make mistakes, it's difficult to correct. Better to always just judge by the content. If the content is not sufficient to judge it by itself, it may be a bad sign (at least for the technical sites). | |

My perspective here is clearly on the voting. When someone looks for a question, the most voted answer comes on the top. I believe that SE wants the top voted post to be on its merit rather than its author's. | |
