Would it be difficult (and useful) to change the voting system inherited from reddit and implement one where casting a vote would rate something on a scale from minus ten to ten, and then average all votes together?

Difficult? Probably not. Useful is debatable. I'm not sure that the Karma system is important enough to consider in much detail. I just don't see much low hanging fruit there.
