Yeah, stuff like that is why I'm pretty cool with whatever you do on this. It's a lot easier to throw suggestions out there than it is to implement improvements.
People are humans, and humans have psychological quirks like treating comments that are at -3 worse than comments that are at +7, even if they rationally understand that those comments and the vote responses to them are the same. Entire industries are built on playing little mind games like this to squeeze money out of consumers, and it works.
I don't think it's such a big change that it requires a vote. It can always be changed back.
Starting off every comment at +10 might make everyone happy, though.
