Should downvotes result into bigger reputation loss than -2 ? I believe that compared to +10 for an upvote, -2 is negligible and it would be fair to increase it. Also, since the community is reputation-based and the purpose is to provide high-quality answers and accumulate knowledge, is it worth to introduce a progressive scaling of downvote effect based on authors reputation? For example: - a user with rep <= 100 gets -1 if his post is dowvoted - a user with 100 < rep <= 500 gets -2 if his post is dowvoted - a user with 500 < rep <= 1000 gets -5 if his post is dowvoted - a user with 1000 < rep gets -10 if his post is dowvoted etc... Does anyone else find this reasonable?
