People are not allowed to disagree or not like? What's the downvote button even for then?

I also read a post about downvoted content being "buried", so I guess most people have their feed by Hot and that's why? And what would be wrong with that anyway?

New gang till death, I like my content chronologically.

ps: What was that site you could see your upvotes/downvotes? I'm curious about my ratio and how grumpy I have become.

edit: I should have been more clear, I'm talking more about mods being touchy. If a random user gets mad that he was downvoted, there's not much they can do, but there are mods banning people for downvotes lol

I think slashdots also most useful for if I recall, basically no ability to vote.

IE If I remember right, as a lurker you get no votes. You basically have to participate, and if you get votes on a post, you then get a handful of votes you can use on others. I do wonder how a system like that would work on other sites. If a modernized form of it could work on a reddit like site etc... Would on the surface appear to be a way to counteract bots, but also run the risk of say one bot getting votes and automating a circle jerk with it's clones.
