I think just adding the check boxes and demanding comment would go a long way. If someone wants to actually put time into explaining a downvote its likely legitimate, at least for the voter. I think everything mentioned warrants consideration but I think making it less reflexive would be noticeably helpful.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
The check box would leave a comment attached to the users name, so accounts like sunsetjesus which has no comments, no post and does nothing but down vote can be lowered a significant amount. If with the changes above a minimum reputation level was required to down vote, then that kind of down vote only account would disappear in a flash.

True. I like the minimum reputation to downvote part, too. Not so low that a new comer would be excluded, but a brief history of malfeasance would be enough to knock the out of commission.
