Hmm. Or "Reward"/"Punish"? "Incent"/"Disincent"? "Carrot"/"Stick"?
"I like your comment, so I more like thissed it" doesn't roll off the tongue.
Please, no. As far as I'm concerned, an upvote or downvote, by me or on my posts, is not a reward or a punishment. Not even slightly.
So much the better. I am not interested in who has upvoted or downvoted me, and I never mention my own votes.
I agree that reward/punish doesn't quite capture the intended meaning. The other suggestions I edited in also have that problem.
Even if we're not mentioning votes, there are various other reasons why we might want to talk about the process of voting.
I kind of like "I like your comment, so I morepleased it".
