| Nov 26, 2013 at 15:48 | comment | added | Wooble | @AndrewBarber: and I'd argue that "post is already at -9" is usually a good indication that further down voting isn't really all that appropriate; at that point the content's probably going to be voted for deletion soon and people are just wasting their rep downvoting it further. | |
| Nov 26, 2013 at 14:03 | comment | added | Andrew Barber Mod | I am all for encouraging down voting when appropriate, but given history, I think this would just create way too much drama, and 'false' down votes. | |

| Nov 26, 2013 at 13:19 | comment | added | Cjxcz Odjcayrwl | I don't think it's the point of downvoting to get the answer to -25 score. The point of downvoting should be to remove bad answers. So maybe the badge for downvoting the answers, that were deleted? | |

| Nov 26, 2013 at 13:02 | comment | added | CodesInChaos | @JanDvorak That'd actually be an interesting suggestion. Digging out a duplicate is often quite a bit of effort with little reward compared to simply answering the duplicate. | |
| Nov 26, 2013 at 12:59 | comment | added | John Dvorak | except being the first to closevote as duplicate brings no rep | |
| Nov 26, 2013 at 12:59 | comment | added | Stijn | I don't recall ever receiving rep for flagging... | |
| Nov 26, 2013 at 12:58 | comment | added | Joran Den Houting | @Stijn it's like being the first pointing out to a duplicated post by flagging, they receive extra rep. It's all about being focused when reading answers. | |
| Nov 26, 2013 at 12:57 | comment | added | CodesInChaos | Answers get rarely downvoted to -10, and I don't see why they should be. Only obviously bad answers get downvoted that far, and those are not the answers where we need to encourage downvotes. The interesting downvotes are on answers which look fine at first glance, but are nevertheless wrong (sometimes even dangerously wrong). But those generally end up with a positive total. | |
| Nov 26, 2013 at 12:57 | comment | added | Stijn | What makes the first downvote more special than the others? IMO there's no lack of downvoting on SO, no need for a badge. Like @juergend says, there's a significant chance of abuse. | |
| Nov 26, 2013 at 12:56 | comment | added | Joran Den Houting | I understand your concern @juergend, but the 9 other downvoters will only downvote because of the bad answer, they won't get the badge for it.. So IMHO it won't.. | |
| Nov 26, 2013 at 12:55 | comment | added | juergen d | My concern is that people start downvoting answers hoping to get the badge. Some might even use different accounts to bring as post down to -10. | |
