Require people to put comments as to why they down vote.

Really annoying to see people with great idea's being down voted on threads, specially when others are agreeing with their suggestions. Almost makes me wonder if riot developers are trolling these forums with many fake accounts down voting suggestions, just to not have to work.

This being said, anyone who wants to down vote should be forced to leave constructive comments as to why the idea is bad.

Feel free to down vote, I wouldn't expect anything less.

The tinfoil hat theory though.

In all seriousness, if you aren't a sheep and have another opinion on something most of the vocal majority agreed on then you get downvoted. Reason being: Sheep.

other than the occasional person that runs through to downvote anything i don't mind it much as they are free to express their opinion without telling me why. obviously if they feel strong enough about it. They will voice their opinion.

Down voting is a fast and simple way to say that you disagree with someone's post, not everyone has the time or wants to make a long wound explanation.

I would suggest instead to remove the downvote system altogether. It just ruins constructive debate.

Do you think anyone will care about your opinion in form of a downvote? No, it only triggers people, giving birth to flame and hate, the very essence that ruins the communities of forums and games. Downvoting has no purpose in a forum, and quite frankly I get sick everytime an unpopular opinion is downvoted. I literally never use downvotes, I only report if they break the forum rules, otherwise I respond to the thread saying how I feel, or just ignore it if I think it will lead nowhere.

Downvoting is toxic. Remove downvoting, A democratic vote would never remove a republican vote, so don't do it here either.

I'm in agreement with your idea, but I think there's a simpler fix. Check here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/site-feedback/0ua6KyA0-make-downvotes-invisible
