Downvoting is good because the really ****ty stuff gets voted off and is out of the way so there’s less crap for everyone to sift through to vote. If every single submission stayed all week, there would be a ridiculous amount of submissions (especially in enemies).

And I know it’s been discussed before, but leaving a submission for a period of time even if it reaches -5 is a good idea. Having 24 hours or so at least guarantees you get a fair shot, and if you are still voted off, it’s because it sucked.
