I'm pretty new here (about a week I think). While the voting/karma system isn't readily apparent, like you, I figured it out about a day after registering. I think the FAQ could possibly benefit from a more thorough explanation, but I do think people figure it out eventually once they start participating.

I registered yesterday and came to know about it immediately about what he up arrows are. Anyone who's familiar with discussion forums can get it in a while I guess.
But, sure, I think HN should have given a note of this.
Using Alt text is a good idea to keep the space clean and unintuitive.
