Several days ago, I noticed a slew of posts that where complaining about negative votes. I have also noticed some members with excessively huge points here yet have only been a member for a limited time. This means one of two things, A/ there are some real no-lifers here, or 2/ that the paid shills are working over-time to get points to try and beat the voting system here.
PLEASE USE YOUR DOWNVOTES. basically, if there are obvious undesirables here, VOAT has given us the ability to diminish their influence. Do not feel that it is somehow socially bad to downvote someone. the button is there, use it for the greater good. :)
Edit: Aaaw, and the shills feefee's have been hurt, the downvote brigade has started. lol. like I actually care. I personally love the attention and wish we could have a downvote total attached to our profile. because downvotes do not hurt me, but they do hurt the shills ability to function. :)

Well the problem is the equation is slightly out of balance a "down vote" has consequences with no "cost" it should minus your CCP score and when under 100 again no down votes again.
Its is a fallacy to believe "up votes" and "down votes" are equal an up vote is a free will act here is how it works:
That is a balance, the down vote throws it OUT of balance, but is still good to have as a limited "stop gap" or "break" on flow.
But it should have a cost, because if it does not it throws the balance out.

What do you think of the idea of only allowing downvotes (and maybe upvotes also) When you have posted a response. And you can only up/down vote that particular comment. Also, to up/down vote an article, you should at least have to of made one post in it. Ideas?
