I wish downvotes had a text field feedback option. I often downvote comments for reasons that may not be obvious to the author. That could be ripe for abusive messages, but still think it's a noteworthy idea.
- brewdad 7y agoThe old Slashdot moderation system had a variant of this. You could assigns comment score and a reason for that score. It worked pretty well until users inevitably learned how to abuse it.

Alternatively only allow a refutation format which is simple to validate. And make it clear that votes are only a show of sentiment since this is not a democracy we are talking about.
