I understand the downvoting (or lack thereof) completely. I guess it's just strange to me the lack of upvoting. I don't hand out upvotes to just anyone, but 10 a day is very restricting. I also think it makes it harder to stratify different quality levels of content, because almost all comments have a very similar range of upvotes and downvotes regardless of what they're saying.
I guess what I'm saying is that it would (to me) make a lot more sense to implement a system like this after there is a large user base in order to screen people who come to the site just because it has become the thing to do.
