I think it's natural that downvoting is used for disagreement, but the barrier to entry should be higher.
The system I've proposed is: you can downvote a post if you've upvoted a reply to it, or if you have replied.
If somebody is breaking the rules in clear bad faith, that's what flagging is for.
- baud147258 7y agoThere seems to be something like this in play, there are discussions where I can't downvote, but I've never dig up to check why
- microcolonel 7y agoYou can't downvote replies to your own replies, that's the one I'm aware of. Maybe there's another level based on karma that was introduced since I got where I am.
- detaro 7y agoCan't downvote comments older than >24 hours is another thing.
- baud147258 7y agoAh, I didn't know that, but it checks out. Thank you.
