Yeah but say I use the downvote button appropriately but never upvote.
That system is designed to avoid abuse. Mass downvoted comments tend to be seen as negative by people even if they contain a legit point.
Yes, but one person can't be responsible for a mass downvoted comment, so it seems silly to punish someone for downvoting more than they upvote.

They can if they use several accounts, which is useless as I mentioned above.
