RE: Open Letter to Ned and Dan: You Badly Need a Communications/Community/Content Expert and I Hereby Nominate @stellabelle or @donkeypong For That Job

I suggest that down voting be weighted the same way as upvoting except with a negative.

That is exactly how it works currently.

Sort:  

then how come an up vote might have no discernable effect or at most a few cents while a down vote blows him out of the water? Complete wipe out, and machine guns the survivors?
"

Because votes increase in effect once there are already other votes on the same content. If a comment is at $0 and you upvote, it might go up by few cents. If it is already at $100 then your vote, up or down, will move it by a lot more than a few cents.

ok..that explains the upvote...now how come one downvote blanks out the whole post?

Off topic but wanted to to get your thoughts on this. I think it would be a good expiriment.
