I’m not even sure whether that whole downvote thing always works as intended. I will often ignore (old) comments with no up- or downvotes but I will at least quickly skim those who received downvotes. Nearly all comments with no karma, positive or negative, are just not very interesting or insightful. That’s not always true of comments with downvotes. It’s easy enough to sort out the lunatics and trolls and it’s just nice to vote a reasonable comment up that was downvoted for no good reason.
