Slightly off-topic, but I keep thinking that downvoting should only be possible together with a comment stating the reason for the downvote.

- xrd 7y agoYeah, or, perhaps when you downvote, you need to check all the checkboxes which indicate what guidelines were not followed.
- Udik 7y agoWell, you can downvote also simply to disagree. But would be good to state why you do. Also, "downvoting comments" could be in turn discussed and up/downvoted.
- xrd 7y agoI guess I disagree with that usage of downvote. Shouldn't you reply to the comment and engage if you disagree? A downvote seems like it indicates something else, poor community behavior. I'm open to being wrong and I think it should be clarified.
- detaro 7y agoThat sounds like a surefire way of creating large discussions around bad comments, instead of moving them out of the way.
- Udik 7y agoDownvoted comments (and threads) can be still moved to the bottom.
