Maybe it would help to do what they do on Reddit: disable voting after a certain amount of time.

Hm, I always figured that was to decrease the load on their servers by making pages more cacheable.

That would certainly prevent the situation where A downvotes 10 old comments from B every day (which is what's been happening to me lately). It wouldn't stop A downvoting every new comment from B as it arrives, though, and that's almost as bad.
