I'm all for a voting system, but if those votes have consequences, then I agree voting should be regulated to avoid large groups forcing their viewpoints on others. Also, if votes come with consequences besides that of people seeing your vote counts then I wouldn't call it speech.

... If downvoating is inhibited because of affiliated censorship sentiment, is it considered censorship?

Not sure which way to take this question

But I see the downvote as only existing to censor, so it's regulated to avoid mass censorship. So if we want to allow downvoting to be open to anyone at any time, under the argument that it's free speech, then I would also want the censorship aspect removed.

With the current talks about the downvote button, I'm on the side of leaving it as it is or reworking it more than just letting people downvote all they want.

I am on the same mindset as you. If downvote brigading is revealed then that is good enough for all i believe
