Unsurprisingly, many (but not all) of these answers do, in fact, come from cw/big-list questions with a lot of votes.

It is actually possible to do this (at least up to the last thirty days) in the tools menu, but I agree that it would be nice for everyone to have access to this.

@blinowitz: I just put in a request there to allow new users to vote. (It was a ploy so that I can vote myself)

Here: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4617

So, if you have reputation, please vote for it!

I tried to vote for the feature request on meta.SE but unfortunately they do not allow you to vote until you've gained 15 reputation points. Argh...

One of you guys should post it on meta.SE so we can all vote it up. This will make it so you have enough rep there to vote on other MO-related feature requests.

Very often, there are really great answers with lots of votes up that may not be in questions that have lots of votes up. It would be nice if there were a way to browse "best answers" so you can click through to read the whole question. Anybody else think it's a good idea?
