Votes on posts are now worth 10 points up or down to the contributor.
It's unclear -- do you mean that the number of points received for posts gets multiplied by 10, both for positive and negative votes? This factor seems too dramatic. I'd go for 2 or 3, no more. One also has to take into account that posts get more votes than comments simply because more people rate them, so the effect of a post is already greater than that of a comment.
Also should (have) been discussed in one of the open/meta threads in advance of deployment.

Yes an up vote on a post is worth 10 karma points to the contributor, a down vote -10 points.
With regard to discussion, I just implemented what I was instructed to do.
