I have a handful of stories here, actually both hands 
They do have pretty good ratings, certainly good enough to make me happy with them.
I also get a good number of comments including one idiot who I finally just blocked because I know me getting the last word in pissed him off and he was just trying to get to me.... HA HA I win.
Voting is a good thing as it does provide feedback. I think it would be a very neat addition to the process were we to be able to receive specific feedback from other authors segregated from the rest.
It's easy to sit on the sidelines and criticize, the criticism is more meaningful if it comes from someone who actually does something other than cruise the site with baseless opinions.
Authors have a skin in the game... readers have nothing to lose by giving a low score because they don't understand the concept.
Maybe peer votes could be presented where they can be seen only by authors.
If the general readership likes a story but my peers vote low because of technical issues, I can see where I need to improve, making the feedback much more meaningful.
Just a thought.... I'm sure Art will be putting out a contract on me should many of us agree and he is faced with the task of figuring out how to do it but it would be a very useful tool.
