Sidenote: I have a general wish for the forum a) that you could just choose any amount of karma up to your max entitlement to allocate with an up/downvote, and b) that downvotes for stronger than some value (maybe 4 or 5), would be restricted unless the downvoter commented.
I find it really quite hostile when someone has so much influence over the apparent popularity of a post/comment and chooses to wield it without trying to help fix whatever they think the problem is.
(was not the voter, nor have I voted on your comments)
(a) would also be beneficial to the voter as well; knowing the magnitude of a vote sharply limits the pool of people who may have cast it
Incidentally, I’d prefer that people generally say something like “+/-7 or stronger” rather than a specific number, to limit the risk someone could de-anonymize a specific vote
