Re:Ask HN: Should we eliminate downvoting on HN?

How about adding a comment when you downvote?
This should stop the knee jerk downvotes and otoh also tell the OP the reason why the post got downvotes.
If somebody makes a downvote with a comment like "sgsgsgsfwfwg" the OP can flag it and the downvoter gets his downvote privileges revoked on 10 flags or something.

Just an idea.
