I think an upvote is basically equivalent to saying 'I concur'. It's not equivalent to a '+' grade. The problem is other people (rightly) have their own opinion about the meaning of an upvote. -- I think voting serves a dual purpose; 1) to moderate via community consensus and 2) provide a meta-game designed to entertain members. I don't think voting should be taken too seriously .. in the end - points and karma are just a distraction. I don't think it's worth taking it too seriously.
