    I would go one further and say that there shouldn’t be downvotes. That way, “good” posts and comments still rise to the top, but you don’t have somebody’s comment sitting at -60 because they pissed off the hive.

      But what’s the actual problem with the ability for posts to have negative scores? Are we trying to prevent people from feeling the unpleasant sensation associated with THE DISAPPROVAL OF OTHERS!?

        It incentives self censorship that turns sites into echo chambers. e.g. Reddit

        If a comment bothers you ignore it or reply with why you disagree
