My question titled, https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/259072/should-there-be-a-grace-period-before-you-can-down-vote-a-post, is receiving a tremendous amount of down-votes and comment criticism.

The thing is, I already understand that my question isn't so great. But every day, that question gathers more and more down-votes, and I keep losing reputation points.

I already understand that my question isn't so great, but I'm still accumulating more and more down-votes every day.

I don't want my reputation to continue draining just because of a disliked question that's been sitting there for a long time. It's like trying to fill a bowl with water, except the bowl has a large hole in it.
