      Occasionally, someone goes through my post history and downvotes every post. I’d love to know who it is just so I can thank them for the amusement.

        I guess they are a signal of disapproval, but its better to be honest and say what you think then to try and get liked in every post.

        To be fair, it could have a negative impact on whether or not new users or lurkers get involved.

        It can inhibit participation. A lot of people automatically downvote anyone with a negative score and upvote anyone with a positive score because of the peer pressure or something. It’s how the brigading and triple digit downvotes often get started.
