Today, after much feedback and evaluation, we implemented some changes to the way OSNews "moderation" works. Previously, we had a dual-purposed feedback system - an "up" vote was based on agreement, but a "down" vote was based on specific rules. We've changed the way things work around here, read more for the details.

I totally agree.
I really don't see why this is being restricted. I've made suggestions above, but then found someone else's comments were also worth voting up, but I cannot, even though it's on a completely different thread.
Exactly!
It happens quite often that one adds to a discussion and then, later on, someone like butters shows up and posts a really, really good comment which should be visible for people who have set their score filter to a high value to avoid the noise.
It seems as though it's per article now. Is this right?
It seems to be. Which is even worse since there are usually more than one thread per article.
I would understand if one couldn't mod down people who post into a thread originating at one's own comment or at worst in the whole thread, but a restriction voting up?
