Do the downvotes actually do anything, aside from making comments show lower on the page?
They're basically a poll on how many people agree or disagree with a statement. A gauge of the mentality of the mob that read the comment. And from my observations, just like on reddit, if a comment is initially upvoted or downvoted, people are generally inclined to vote the same way, which is a tendency I find interesting.
