I'm curious, are you on a touch screen device? I've accidentally downvoted a number of times because I missed the little arrows with my fingers. It's frustrating that I can't change my vote afterwards. Does anyone else feel like this is a problem? Seems fixable.

I've accidentally down-voted only when using my iPad to browse HN. That and accidental Facebook "likes" can be a terrible ordeal. How would you fix that though?

    Change the layout: [up arrow] 2 points [down arrow] by stevejohnson 1 hour ago... Greatly reduces the chances of accidental downvotes due to misclicks.

    Worst part about Facebook is that the person usually gets an email notification...

I would just disable down-voting on touch screen devices. At the expense of some functionality you avoid the issue of hiding valuable content.
