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.

/u/Atko -
What about instead of a fixed "100" limit, you make it so a person can downvote as many times as they have CCP? Then a newcomer could still downvote if they contributed, but they'd need to be careful with them or they would quickly run out.
But, as you already pointed out, this won't stop "hey gimme CCP guise!" threads/comments from happening. In my opinion, the only way to increase voting quality is to make it cost something ("cost" not necessarily meaning monetary value there). This is why I say the only solution here is to make every vote = solve a captcha. Make a vote cost a bit of effort. Apart from making the site members-only, this is the only way I can see of solving this.
