We’ve read your comments and discussed this intensively internally, and we’ve ultimately decided against allowing negative votes. Negative votes allow good ideas to be buried for political bias, they potentially leave forums empty, and they damage the vote economy. Check out an in-depth explanation at: http://blog.uservoice.com/2010/07/28/declining-negative-votes/

Seems to me this should be at the discretion of the admin ... this is our feedback forum, not yours :) So -- maybe a setting that says "allow negative votes" which can be turned on per forum (but is disabled by default).

A way to link two ideas and then auto merge the votes would be ideal I think. Something like this:
- Edit the status and set as duplicate
- Link the idea to another (the other idea then becomes the master)
- Auto merge the votes on the duplicate idea into the masterBen

Thomas -- we don't have profiles on our websites, but we have a lot of direct communication with our users. That's one of the reasons why I like uservoice though -- it gives us a way to build the community around the product without investing too much in software that is not core to our business.
As far as how to implement -- I think Getsatisfaction does a decent job. Might be better examples out there, though.
Another profile element that I didn't mention but I'm sure a lot of users would appreciate is geographic location, such as city / state / country.

+1 for returning votes when an idea is started.
Planned ideas should not return votes. For me, a planned idea is still tentative. Nothing is for certain in software development until code is being written :)
