Isn't downvoting a valid a signal? Why should it necessarily be discouraged?
Is there anything that keeps sock puppets from voting? Wouldn't the offenders just switch to those?
I think a better alg is the author of the max downvotes on one person. It just seems to me that downvoting per se is not necessarily a bad thing.
I also see it that strictly downvoting is a valid signal - esp. as it is limited to x4 karma. See my comment here.
