Completely agree. The problem is that the downvote means too many things at the same time (Spam AND Disagree AND Not-adding-to-the-convo)<p>HN rules suggest that one shouldn&#x27;t downvote to disagree, but it&#x27;s not what&#x27;s happening.<p>One solution is to keep the upvote button and replace the downvote one with a link, e.g. &quot;Report&quot; where you&#x27;d pick the reason.
