Is the objection to the votes the downvoting or all voting?
Or the hiding of the votes?

Is +10 +0 that much different than +10 -10?

Or perhaps a limit to the downvoting.

It's all about perception anyways.

We could separate the upvotes and downvotes, so it is similar to how YouTube does it. You see how many upvotes a post has and how many downvotes it has.

I kind of like that idea! It would also make it possible to see how controversial a post is: mostly upvotes = not very controversial (everyone likes it), fairly even = controversial, mostly downvotes = not very controlversial (no one likes it). Dunno if it would have any real benefit, but just showing upvotes and not downvotes but displaying a controversiality score might also be a nice touch that doesn't highlight the negativity (although it's not as simple, and simplicity is often a good thing too).
