Downvotes and flags are a vital part of the immune system of any community that wants to to hold back the tide of Eternal September. As the community grows and the average intellectual and technical level regresses to the mean of Reddit level inanity, if anything we need more downvotes more often to hold back the entropy. If 80% of the content on this entire forum vanished into oblivion, little of value would be lost.
Upvotes don't help either, they're basically meaningless. If anything they need to remove upvotes so the effect of downvoting is even stronger.
