    no, sometimes people suck and deserve to have their sentiment downvoted - at least on a site where voting has to exist

    on proper forums where there is no voting, there are better ways to discourage behavior, like just ignoring the user / posts. but if the buttons are there you want to click them

      Slashdot still has the best moderation system. I never understood why it didn’t become the norm. You get x number of mod points per week/month. X is determined by how active you are on the platform. You use those points to up/down vote stuff. And there’s a dropdown list of reasons for each. Having a limited number of points means people use them only when appropriate. And the list of reasons insures the points aren’t just used as Likes or Disagree.
