Feb 28, 2017 at 13:32 comment added user527 Good suggestion. Good point on the disadvantage. We'd also need someone to edit the answer at the end of the round for tally (I'm sure I'm not awake when this happens). Another "disadvantage" (although I'm not sure if it is either here or there) is that the comment system is intended to promote a community feel (ie, a user is making his/her voice heard and known). If we do upvotes on comments or upvotes/downvotes, it isn't as much of a community feel (though I'm sure that can be debated).
