Are you guys saying you would like mods to be more generous with their downvoats? We are so busy, most of us don't think about it. However, it is a good point you are making and perhaps an overlooked tool.
I think he is saying the opposite, that it's suspicious that he downvoats more often than upvoats, actually that seems suspicious of anyone on here but especially a mod. Why downvoat when if it's truly a bad post you can delete it? I downvoat mostly because I cannot delete it.. so it seems odd to me and comes off somewhat like a shill trying to control information from the position of power.
Absolutely, I agree, but deleting ones that aren't clear rule violations as well as "shill" downvoating would be suspicious to me. I hate that we have to delete things, but I get it.

I think that it's better to down vote, because I don't like it when they take complete control. Deleting should only be for rule violations.
