Such an exciting topic... The other day I had a 3 day conversation on Code Project regarding the 'voting matter'.
The voting system is good as is... Unfortunatly you get one or two crackers that downvote every one else out of revenge. I'd say that there should be a system for that instances that pick it up and eliminate it. When making statements that are biased you are bound to step on someones toes and that also leads to a bad vote. Other wise the voting is pretty good regarding pointing out the more correct answer.

Regarding your concern about voting down, you can always report the user and let the chosen ones to deal with it. There's always a reason behind every vote, either up or down-voting.
And by the way, I can't figure out your 5 cens here.

There could be option of

Rating always..... WELCOME
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

It should be a two state scale:
- Broccoli for bad feeling / bad message...
- Bacon for good message...

Hang on, Broccoli is deeeee-lish!
Howsabout Bacon Good, Brussels Sprouts bad?

Some of us like Brussels sprouts.

one bacon for you!

Brussels are great! Especially when home grown and lightly fried with bacon!
I would suggest "Bacon...<The T Word>" except my keyboard refuses to type it.

Chasing after points simply is the wrong motivation to write something and can have some very strange results. Especially when somebody disagrees, any reply or comment is far more informative than being downvoted. And for myself, I think it's a bit arrogant to constantly judge everything someone writes, as if my opinions were some kind of absolute measure.
Sorry, I understand the intention of course, but I don't really like what it makes some people do.

+5 . I would add something else here that many people only downvoted the comment but never stated why they did so. This is really unprofessional.

There's a lot of valid reason where voting should be implemented, let's say work evaluation for instance. Or a graphical representation of voting for a survey, where comments cant be an option.

Agreed, but then in a constructive way. Downvoting something without any comment is not helpful. As long as downvotes are annonymous there also will be people who downvote everything somebody wrote as 'revenge' or whatever. This is hard to detect automatically and may very well put the value of an article's rating in question.
