100 CCP is yet again a requirement to downvote and changes I pushed yesterday are now reverted. I spent about 6 hours yesterday reading your comments on my announcement and I think it's pretty clear that majority of you had concerns with removing restrictions. Back to the drawing board I guess. Please accept my apologies for causing the mess.

I had a thought while reading through all of the complaints about downvotes. People always point to the fact that downvotes are used as dislikes. Does anyone have a problem with the fact that the upvote is used as a like button? Only upvoting things you agree with is going to have the same effect as downvoting things you disagree with. The popular stuff is still going to end up on top, and the minority opinion is still going to be at the bottom due to a lack of points. I know in theory you would upvote anything "relevant" to the discussion, even if you don't agree with it, but we all know that people don't do that.
