Fwiw I've gotten notified almost every time I want to downvote a post that I'm not allowed to downvote more than I've up voted. Could be v/Aww is a front to farm the upvotes needed in order to downvote other shit. Just based on observation. Could be totally wrong though.
You should've said, "Yes, but you [only] get submission downvoats based solely on the number of submission upvoats you've given" because you confirmed my suspicion but corrected my false premise that SCP is potential downvoats for submissions and comments. Still, thank you for that useful information.
This means SCP is not totally benign. Downvoating whole submissions could probably be more effective than downvoating single comments.

Point farming. I just block /v/aww

It's not about points. That makes zero sense. Those points are useless. Quit repeating nonsense.
It's about pushing real content off of the front page, distracting people and disrupting the site.
Blocking it is just sticking your head in the sand.

Do upvoats on your submissions (SCP) give you more available downvoats?

no, you get submission downvoats based solely on the number of submission upvoats you've given

well, it's not the SCP that means anything it's the upvoats you give other submissions

I'm not actually sure. I stopped paying attention to myvoat points once I had enough to submit links/text posted.
