I'm all for no downvotes btw. The problem with them is they can be used to bury unpleasant facts.

I was thinking that maybe they can only be used attached to a reply disproving said fact. That would give downvotes more weight and would be less prevalent. But then again, that would complicate things, especially since the downvote could be attached to a reply simply stating: "no".

So no downvotes lol.

The problem with them is they were designed for burying spam and links to Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up, but they instead got used as a disagree button.
