View submission: Why not have a downvoting tax?
It would be useful if Reddit would train users a bit better that the downvote button does not equal "disagree with this opinion" but rather is supposed to mean "this is low quality content". Upvote doesn't mean "agree with this opinion", it should mean "this is a quality contribution.
Right now diverse opinions are silenced as the brigade of downvotes come in if someone takes a point that is against mainstream reddit hive mind, even if that contribution is well written and factually correct.
I'm guilty of deleting comments when I come back a minute later and I'm -100 just because I said something that was not the majority opinion. I don't care about karma or whatever of course (i mean who cares) but I also don't want my profile to look like I'm someone who posts junk / lies / insults.

Unfortunately, for most everyone "disagree" and "low quality" are difficult to differentiate.
