Obviously negative votes should still count against the user's vote total (except as a positive subtraction, if you know what I mean... ;)), and to avoid slashdot-style battles, perhaps setting the maximum negative vote to -1 would be a good idea. 2027 85 under review 1 General general After carefully reviewing the statistics, we've decided against allowing negative votes. Negative votes allow good ideas to be buried for political bias, dislike of the submitter, etc. Instead we're going to be building a system into comments that allows for you to provide a dissenting opinion and for others to agree with you.

Once an idea is declined, it's much harder to locate. I initially thought http://stackoverflow.uservoice.com/pages/general/suggestions/19366 was deleted without response since it disappeared off of my profile page. Kinda feels like it was ignored completely. Which sucks. 73 12 1 General general 32201 jericson jericson jericson 2008-08-21T20:34:50Z 2009-09-26T22:43:28Z general 2008-07-17T05:50:34Z 2009-11-04T10:08:22Z
