I've always wondering about upvote dynamics I think it would be interesting if they were very configurable. Show comment points or hide them? Should users only get X downvotes per day? Maybe an upvote should give +2 and a downvote -1? Maybe a downvote should be -2 for the downvotee and -1 for the downvoter?

Yeah this is what we're trying to figure out too, but we haven't thought about some of these options. Some of our users brought up that they'd like downvoting added in which helps with moderation, but after that, we could work on allowing an admin to decide the weight of an up or downvote.

Thanks for the feedback!
