What is meta? ×  Often times I see that people won't down vote
"bad" responses/answers because they don't want to consistently
lose rep.  Sure, it's only -1 point per down-vote, but do this 3
- 5 or so times a day, and you'll see that you've lost 1,095 -
1,825 reputation (assuming that you log in and do this every
day) in the past year.  I thought of a few similar solutions to
this:    • Provide users with a reputation of at least 125
(minimum to down-vote) the ability to down-vote 3 times a day
without a penalty to their reputation. OPTIONAL: If you are the
recipient of a down-vote that was cast free, you will only lose
-1 reputation.    • Provide users with a reputation of 500 (this
number is only my suggestion, it really could vary) the ability
to down-vote 3 times a day without losing any rep. Then perhaps
at 5,000 reputation, users may have 5 or 10 free daily down-
votes (who would down-vote any more than 10 times a day anyways?
That must be an awful day if you have to do that!).  Those are
only a few opt
