I would be more likely to vote if there were more options. This isn't necessarily because I want others to have more information, but because voting is also a signal to myself about what I value (for enjoyment, education, and of course signaling).
At the very least, a "vote neutral" or "vote very up" would help a lot to distinguish the ok posts from the excellent ones that should be promoted.
Rather ironic that a site dedicated to rationality should depend to a large extent on, from what I can tell, is an irrational impulse to vote, no?
After all, what is the utility of voting, unless it is believed that everyone will act in the same way---but group behavior is not something you can control.
I suppose it could be useful to remind yourself of the more interesting comments and commenters, at least, as you suggest.
Oh my, in a fit of irrationality, I just voted up your comment.
