For instance, if you create a community about ducks and offer DUCK rewards, but people start posting geese and flamingos, they'll threaten to blow the place up if you downvote their geese and flamingos. These silly lopsided arguments about downvotes that are often blown way the hell out of proportion are on the minds of everyone who runs a community or would like to start. So they just let shit slide. Do you know how hated I'd be if I just wanted to run an actual magazine here and provide consumers with quality instead of just opening the floodgates to all that randomness? It would be WW3. The smear campaign would never end. I'd have to close my doors.
And it's worth mentioning, if one removes the downvotes and replaces with another system, that system is then what the people will lose their shit over.
