I'd be interested to see if downvotes were only allowed along with a comment explaining the downvote.

I'd just like to see how that played out.

That would lead to general inflation. You need to give comments on both directions.

What I'd like to see is article downvoting. As it stands there is no user-inflicted punishment for posting a sensationalized or otherwise terrible article

Which just shows how few people up-vote articles. Getting front page of HN easily gets you 5-10k pageviews if not more, yet your average top story has 100 votes. Most people consume without contributing in any way.

I actually very rarely upvote stories at all. Both here and on reddit.
