what if you are only granted 1 downvote per 2 upvotes you assign-- this would have a triple effect of promoting a more positive site-wide image and make downvotes twice as meaningful while also preventing abusive brigading of users-- just a thought- is the idea even feasibly applicable?
Right—I was just thinking that limiting or scaling downvotes based on quantity rather than upvote/downvote ratio would address the criticism that it could be gamed with fake upvotes.
