Thanks for sharing this, the ideas around down voting have not really been talked about, and I seem to remember someone saying it was bad to do. I couldn't figure out why but I figured this was a beta and eventually we'd get clarification. Just curious? Does down voting affect your voting Power?
Downvoting consumes power just like upvoting, yes.
I thought as much, thanks for verifying. This is gold information now, and especially when the gates open and the horde arrives
That is unfair, so if i find plagiarized content or spam and flag it I end up loosing voting power? this seems like a way to demotivate reporting bad content.
