I feel like changing the mainspace requirements can't really solve this problem once and for all. The reason why we have so many "blind votes" is not because of mainspace experience or time on the wiki, it's because people don't have a thorough knowledge of the issue. Some newbies (even me when I returned to this wiki 1-2 years ago) tend to vote based on previous votes by old, "significant" users - who usually present their ideas clearly and coherently (something I suck at). They are convinced, thus agreeing to them immediately - even if we removed "per" votes, we can't prevent people from looking at others' opinions. The result is that one side gets like 10 votes before the other side - sometimes the better solution - arrive with arguments far more logical, but too late to turn the tide.

tl;dr: Blind vote is the result of not understanding the issue enough
