Maybe the downvote comment should be owned by the "community" user (and visibly marked as downvote-comment, so downvoters can't just put "+1 nice answer" into it), and be internally associated with all the downvoters that choose that downvote comment as their reason. All those associated users would then get their rep back when the comment gets upvoted, in the way you described above. | |
