Yep. I'm not sure I like calling it "kudos", but the +1 concept is needed. I'd also like to see a -1 as well.

I don't believe in the "let the good comments bubble to the top" philosophy. If there's a convenient way to like something, there should also be a convenient way to dislike it.

Intentionally not including the -1 button doesn't accomplish a thing. People who dislike stuff are just going to continue writing their walls of text / spam.

This is one thing youtube / other sites have done right if you ask me.
