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.

It encourages participation in discussion. I think that's why most people like it.
It also makes you earn the ability/responsibility of downvoating.

Id be in favor of heavier restrictions. Such as requiring a reply in order to downvoat or maybe a daily ratio of comments to downvoats. But i think im in the minority in that regard.

We both are then.... If you're going to downvoat, you should be required to offer an alternative position/explanation. I'm with you.

The only problem i see with that is spam. I have no need to reply to the manhood 101 folks but oh boy does downvoating them feel good.

haha, yea. That's a problem, but you could just type "spam", then downvoat and still get the feels.
