They can continue to vote with the user system too, but not on the same users...
With the post system, the voting opportunities are kinda unlimited... there's too much stuff that you can vote for. Voters won't know which posts to vote on, and which to ignore... I think they'll tend to give more negative opinions than positive ones, because bad posts kinda stick out and beg to be rated...

Yeah, but take dwergs for example... are people going to search for all his old posts then vote on them? What kind of comments will they give? You shouldn't say "dwergs rules; I love mess.be" as a comment on one of his posts...
I suppose there's a similar argument against the user-system: a comment like "his reply pissed me off" that isn't associated with a certain post is kinda dodgy...

Anyway, could you put advantages and disadvantages in green and red in the list, so we have a better overview? Thank you 
I guess so.
Edit: Some of the points are just informational, and some could be either good or bad. If you have suggestions for things that are missing from the list, post.

Where would these options go? You'd have to load a new page to get the voting form... it needs a comment box and everything...

Hmm... I think you might be right...
As long as you have a valid reason (not a grudge) for giving a negative reputation, the user shouldn't be able to complain. Maybe the only way to really find out is to implement it and see what happens.
Do you think ALL votes should be public, even if there's no comment?
Or should a comment be required? Someone could still vote based on a grudge and just not leave a comment... nobody would know what the vote was for.
