I read that in the past the up-votes given to questions were worth 10 points just as the up-votes to answers are. However, after changing that moderators started encouraging users to vote more on questions, as they were getting so little attention. They even put that pop-up box that shows up after you've voted on X answers consecutively. So, if the community doesn't learn to vote more on questions, why not make the weight of up-votes go back to 10 points each?
