There should be an emotional display of how many upvotes a post got.
Numbers are, well, too numbery for that.
Either a smile with ever growing smile.
or a ballon that grows bigger and bigger (for posts that really get way too upvoted, the ballon could explode into colorfull bright carnival paper, or candy, or Brad Pitt, or Russian Redheads...)
Ok, ballon or smile, who is with me?
I like the idea, but they seem kind of gimmicky. (thinking of LW's comments section, it would be hard to give another icon the kind of prominence we want, without making it too big). How about a green/red bar, like the one on YouTube?
