Where's the downvote button?

We were being invaded on a regular basis by other subs and just downvote brigading. Technically, removing the downvote button doesn't fix it 100%, but it does seem to minimize the damage.

If you like something, upvote it. If not, just leave it be.

This keeps posts from needlessly being downvoted out of view.

I'm sure some other people have a better explanation, but it has to do with the 'downvote brigades' that would come through and unevenly downvote posts without regard to the content inside the post itself. It resulted in some great content being unevenly ranked and hard to find.

Instead, offering only the upvote material allows solid conversations that are controversial (and would have been downvoted to oblivion due to language or going against the grain) to rise to the top for discussion.

That's my take on it.
