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.

Great idea. I got down it's for something and I have no idea why.
