I like the Stack Overflow approach, where downvoting costs the downvoter karma, but less than being upvoted gifts them.
- alecco 16y agoThere are hundreds of accounts with over a thousand votes. It wouldn't be meaningful for us to lose a few points per day if we wanted to censor. In particular early down-voting can affect what comment gets to be the top on a discussion. Also, comments with negative points are grayed out.
