While the system in itself is meant for harmless fun and resembles the rating system on wowhead, I find it unfitting for a tracker used for reporting issues with the server; it belongs to a forum enviroment. Presenting players the ability to freely downvote individuals they don't like or comments they don't personally agree with can lead to problematic situations where people regularly misuse the function, especially when comments with enough negative votes get hidden.
The concept of rewarding users for their commitment is however a welcome one, but you could just leave up the passive system which awards points for every comment and report made.
