    I am observing in CP in recent days, some people are complaining about "Down Voting". Some people are suggesting, remove the down vote button from QA section as like discussion forums. My suggestion is, the down vote button should only visible, when user hit the "Up Vote" button. Means user can only down vote such item(s) which he/she has up voted. If user does not like the Answer/Post, he can just undo his "Up Vote". The points of down vote should be deducted the same added point after Up Voting. Sometimes, I like the code snippet/link and up voted the answer, but when I visit the actual link or after trying the code, I found, it is not working as exptecd, then I can undo my "up vote". This can be useful for other developers.

      Then don't vote until you have checked first. This whole issue around up and down voting has been discussed too many times; just enjoy the site and stop worrying about it.

        I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

          If an answer is bad then you should be able to mark it as bad. Just undoing an upvote has the same effect as not voting on it at all, which removes the concept of an answer being so wrong that it's dangerous. This is why downvotes have to continue.

            Do you mean the 1 star to 5 star voting? Or am I just blind to where the downvote button is?

            There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
