In the absence of a button (and given that Jeff has said it's not likely to be implemented) you can use the HTML tag: Like this or this or this Like <strike>this</strike> or <s>this</s> or <del>this …

Rather than 1 point for a single up-vote on a comment perhaps if it was 1 point (or 5 points) for 10 or more up-votes that might work. Having said that, I'm not in favour of rep for comments. It woul …

The question by Joel on Logo got me thinking. This has been raised on UserVoice, but has been declined. Would someone with lesser rep or a less famous name have received the same number of votes/answe …

As you are increasing the penalty of a down-vote I think you ought to strengthen the "nudge" that prompts people to explain the down-vote. For example, perhaps in this case the cost to the down-voter …

The correct response to answers that don't actually answer your question is to down-vote them. If the answer gets down-votes the poster will (hopefully) either improve it to correct the mistakes or de …

People answer questions on Stack Exchange because they want to, not because they have to. Implementing this would change the relationship users have with Stack Exchange for the worse. As it is the p …

This was originally reported back in September 2010 but despite being tagged status-completed is still a problem: It states: Welcome to Q&A for professional and enthusiast programmers Surely …

Currently the system detects duplicate answers from the same user and flags them for moderator attention. This is useful, but could be streamlined. Duplicate answers fall into two main categories: …

I can't see the utility in this. If you're active enough on the site to be bothered by the ads then it should be possible for you to get the extra 100 points of reputation you need not to see them (a …

I suppose two people could have voted at the same time.

It wouldn't work while you were answering a question - as the text box would potentially move out from under your cursor while you were typing. Not a good thing. While answering you get the notificat …

I like this idea too as it should help improve the site. If posters see a reclamation of rep after fixing a post then it makes them a) more likely to do it in the future and b) more aware of what a go …

The "meta" for Area 51 is under the discuss link at the top right of the page. However, it's not called meta as it does more than just act as a site to report bugs and feature requests. It's a plac …

I agree. Your ID should be global, but your reputation, badges and even bio should be unique to each site. The default would be to have the same bio as the first entered, but you should be allowed to …

You can already reward the answer with both an up-vote and acceptance which will give them 25 rep. If you don't think this enough then a comment on the answer is a good way of acknowledging the "debt …
