I am new here. But what about just disable downvoting?

Please no. Disabling downvoting would just turn "voting" into a popularity contest. Downvotes work well overall, and abuse of the karma system is quite rare.

Downvoting doesn't stop it from being a popularity contest. If you don't like someone, you can vote them down just as much as you can vote up people you like.
