Would you downvote someone for no reason if you lost a bit of your own rep doing it? Probably not. This would keep you only downvoting posts you really think deserve it, and help prevent downvote abuse. What are you thoughts?

The purpose of the voting system is so that anyone can give one point up or one point down ... irrelevant of how many posts they have, how much reputation they have, how long they've been a member on DaniWeb, etc. The purpose of it is so that the person giving the vote doesn't have to be afraid to go one way or the other for any reason, and that's what sets it apart from the reputation system.
