Some sort of emoticon could work, like what Facebook does.
Personally, I find the lack of feedback from an upvote or downvote to be discouraging. I understand that many people don’t want to take the time to provide a quick comment, but personally I think that’s silly as a 10 second comment could help a lot in many cases. If there is a possibility for a 1 second feedback method to allow a little more information than up or down, I think it’s worth trying.

I’m reminded of Slashdot. Not that you necessarily want to copy that, but that’s some preexisting work in that direction.
