The ability to transfer Karma between users would be nice.
Ability to specify reason for upvote/downvote with a feedback note visible only to the person being upvoted.
Why not just send them a PM?
I thought of that too, but in the end I upvoted the suggestion because it lowers the barrier to such feedback, and I'm in favor of that.
You could even have a dropdown menu or one-line-pithy-comment-section that appears when you click a "vote" button.
Now that I think of it, comparing explanations for up/downvotes to properly commented code could help increase support for such explanations...
Extremely good idea, though admins should also probably be able to see the notes to prevent harassment.
Suggestion: notes should come with "report" buttons/links, just like comments. That gives the user who receives the note the ability to notify admins of harassment if it occurs, but ey can otherwise keep them private.
Solid. I honestly forgot that function was there, since I've never had to use it before-- that probably says something about this community. :)
