Whether or not they were bad entries doesn’t matter when -2 was winning after 10 minutes of voting. The goal seems to be to knock as much out as possible as soon as possible so there’s less competition when people start voting fairly. I agree with the option of forbidding downvoting in categories that you enter. Then again this will allow idiotic entries like the all W’s one today to stick around longer. Limiting the number of downvotes to something like 75% of all entries might help with this.
