Downvoting could be used as anticompetitive weapon or if one who votes does not understand how it should be used correctly.

Also downvoting influences the karma score of the voting user, reducing it. Downvoting costs karma points. This encourages users to downvote carefully.

A way to circumvent the loss of karma points is to add a comment stating "...so I'm voting against it." An example of this can be seen in the thread suggestions for J3 - a smaller phone. When I write this an additional 24 forum users have agreed with that statement. None of those users have lost a single karma point.
