I'm barely upto a month in hive when I experienced my first downvote in my 3 week by a rather influential page. I think my only crime was I used their tag for a contest they were one of the sponsors and I felt really bad about that. A friend adviced that I should have gone to their page to downvote their posts too but then my happier and interesting in hive are more, so I wouldn't place much relevance to a down vote anymore as I'm so taking my friends advice.
People put in so much into writing and content creating, if you do not like it why not pass it or send or correction than a downvote

Not the best advice from your friend though
I will say never do a revenge downvote, it can end bad for the smaller user just saying. Thats a bad bad advice from your friend.
Communities can have rather strict rules sometimes, so one should always check them before posting. I have made the same mistake of not checking first.
If you post on your own blog, you can write about pretty much anything, but when you are "on someone else's yard", you may be better off following their rules.
If you create your own community, you can enforce whatever rules you like there.
