My thinking is, if your ratio is very low (and you’ve reached a minimum number of votes), you get a warning. Then, if you ignore the warning, at some point your downvotes get cut off unless you either vote some stuff up, or maybe we put in a time constraint.

Over a period of months, if you’re consistently meeting the lowest standards (i.e., only upvoting because you were warned each week) you will be ripe for bannination. I’m also thinking individuals who were banned for forumbuildr misconduct could have their votes retroactively reversed, although that’d be much harder to implement in mid-build.

I’ll discuss with the team further, but please continue to give us your input.

I fear that this would only complicate matters. I am actually for the elimination of downvoting because it can (and actually seems to be doing that, I am sort of a new member so I don’t have place for comparison) to be used not only for bad submissions, but for upvoting your own.
