 -2       (this is the first time I have ever used this mechanism)

 A "vote" is simply a compact way of expressing an opinion - yes it is
more useful to add comments  as well, however a numerical opinion does
not exclude that. Encourage communication not discourage.

 Focus on the issue and the information - not on how people choose to
express it - the 'how' is largely tangential and detracts from the
issues at hand.
