If we want a more analog system, I'd say give every user 100 votes and allow more than one to be used on a single bug. This way, bugs that are a huge PITA can can be given a lot of votes and ones that are a little annoying can be given a few, instead of each user having to make an all-or-nothing decision.<br>

All upping the votes does is allow me to vote for my top 100 bugs instead of top<br>
10.<br>
<br>
<br>
Every time I was about to exceed 9 votes (i.e. wanted to vote for a bug, but<br>
I've already voted for 9), there was inevitably a bug that I previously voted<br>
for that was closed. So I haven't really even reached the 10 vote limit. If<br>
you up to 100, you might as well make them unlimited.<br>
<br>
The 10-vote system scales well with more users because each user gets 10 votes.<br>
I'd say leave it as is.<br>
