in reply to Up-voting exceptional articles by two points

I haven't looked or anything, but I'd guess it's been discussed before. My thinking is, if you were allowed to do this it should cost more than the usual vote. Say it costs four votes to upvote something twice and eight votes to upvote something thrice. That might be interesting, but my final answer is: ++/-- is good — don't mess with a good thing without a good reason.

    I always find it hard to answer questions if asked to give a value between 0 and 10 were 0 is bad and 10 is good. I just haven't assigned that many levels of distinction between good and bad in my mind for many things. So upvoting something thrice would be, to me, an unnecessary choice. I feel Exceptional (+2), Good (+1), No value (0) and Bad (-1) would cover my spectrum :)
