Why not just "ivinkirigin, 10 points" or something. I think it's fairly obvious that the first word is a username.

Somehow associate the points with the upvote/downvote icons and not with the username?

If the numbers are changing you get accustomed to it quickly.

By the way, my original comment has an absurdly high karma count. I think that is a direct result of hiding the count.

"10 points by ivankirigin" is actually quite misleading. It looks like "ivankirign" gave the comment 10 points.

I don't believe I've seen a site where any user can give more than one vote, so I don't think this is misleading. But I've not thought about it before, and I do like "by ivinkirigin, points: 10" better.

Kudos on putting so much thought into your UI. Definitely bodes well for GraffitiGeo.
