If you state it like that, maybe what is needed is the ability to down vote the reward rather than the post itself. Think I might look at writing up a blog post on some alternate models for that later. Think we could base some kind of counter proposal for a down vote pool based on that concept. Maybe a downvote pool that never cuts into reputation.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I'm pretty sure that once you get to 60 rep downvotes stop affecting reputation.
Stimialiti wouldn't have his rep, otherwise,...
No, it still does, but the amount needed to drop rep also increases. All it currently requires is your rep being higher than the person to affect reputation negatively.
The idea of downvoting the reward giver did not go over well. You see that would remove rewards from the larger accounts, this is about increasing rewards for larger accounts, or that is the way I see it.
