The last I will say on the subject. Whining about downvotes without "saying why" is an idiot's move. Thank you. According to your comment I am not an idiot because I "said why" : if you are going to do it, give a feedback. Otherwise you haven't added anything to the conversation. . I cannot start to think of a world where giving someone a coin as a way of saying you are adding value is just as effective as taking away a coin from them as a way of saying you are taking away value. The way we communicate online should just be an extension of how we communicate in real life. In practice you should only be able to downvote someone because you upvoted them in the past. So in a sense you would take back what you gave them. Otherwise it is nothing short of robbery. I have never downvoted anyone, unless it was done by mistake. Maybe we are different, but I just do not see how downvotes are helpful. I respect your point, but I think it doesn't make sense.
