What's the voting supposed to do? What are you voting on? Whatever it is, it
can't have any effect beyond those who use the web interface, so unless it's
specifically something that only affects you account, I don't see how it could
really work.
Also, voting systems are easily manipulated and abused. Fixing that
requires, well, a larger investment in thinking about it, human
moderation, etc.
Doesn't seem worth it, to me.
I wouldn't underestimate the ongoing effort forums like reddit and
hackernews put into voting systems.
