FYI, I plan to implement small-upvote and big-upvote differentiation in the near future (like, next week).
Where, basically by default you give “small upvotes” (which range from 1-3, with most users having small-vote-power of 2). And then there is a slight trivial inconvenience-hidden “big upvote” option, which ranges from 1-12, with most longtime users having a value of around 6.
In the flow/stock paradigm, small upvotes are basically for flow, big upvotes for stock.
I also still lean towards using “Facebook React Style” upvotes for differentiation (i.e. after upvoting, you have the option of adding a ‘why’ to the upvote, with a goal of finding something like 5 most common reasons people upvote things)
I don’t think this is adding much user burden, because it’s optional – the thing it’s aiming to modify is not “the part where you upvote someone” but “the part where you give a short comment saying why you upvoted something that doesn’t really add much to the conversation.”
