Record upvotes and downvotes separately, so that we can see the difference between "this post was polarising" and "this post was uninspiring"
ETA: Thanks to Bongo (below), I realise this suggestion is redundant, so instead I suggest that it would be nice to have upvote and downvote totals for users. Although.. I'm not sure how one would distinguish between someone with few downvotes because everything they say is awesome versus someone who is excessively conservative in their commenting (or worse, only posts applause lights)
Oh and in case it hasn't been suggested yet: it would be nice to be able to have a comment feed for single posts, or to filter out comments on posts that we really don't care about. (and while I'm at it, could I also get a pony? Thanks)
You can already "Sort By: Controversial"
That's not very useful for comments that are replies to other comments, though.
It sorts those too, tested it.
Given that it keeps comments that are replies to other comments nested under the comments that they're replying to, I suspect that that only makes a difference when one comment has two or more replies. It's much more common for a comment to have only one immediate-child-level reply, in which case it seems that the sorting doesn't make any difference in how that reply is displayed. So it's useful in some situations, but not in the majority, hence 'not very useful'.
For the clueless among us: how?

Never have I been so thoroughly owned in so few characters.
He could do better.

Lo and behold, I am enlightened!
I hereby change my previous suggestion to "let users see a total of how often they've been upvoted and downvoted in total"
