You want it?
And what help would a VARCHAR be?
What you need is an extra table with a UserId/CommentId key and a Vote shortint field. Unless you want people to be able to up/downvote the same comment more than once.

Not difficult, but a VARCHAR would still not help in that scenario. :P

Pretty much this. It's proof of how many people here use reddit.

No, because I once suggested the same thing when SGv2 was still in beta and some users pointed out some very good arguments on why this would be a bad idea.

This isn't reddit and we're not whoring ourselves out for "le upboats" here.
It's nicer this way anyway, you can tell which comments are good by how many people respond to them.

I really don't like reddit (not that it's entirely bad), in part due to it's comment vote system, it marginalizes anyone who has a differing opinion from the norm and I personally think it's conducive to groupthink. and like others have pointed out, it leads to upvote whoring, just take a look at imgur comments, although top comments are usually funny, sometimes it feels like that's the only objective of most imgur users whether posting pictures or comments is to just get as many upvotes as they can (I see it on reddit too despite how little I frequent reddit)

...What? Most active forum members don't give a crap about post count, as far as I know.
...Or at least I assume...?

Is my idea, and I think it is better than the old "+1" in a comments.
Btw the community must vote.
