The reputation system never had a true downvote option. It was either a "Like" or a simple up arrow. When you clicked the up arrow you'd see the down arrow to remove your vote/like.
The whole system is already disabled in the version that beta testers will be on this week. Maybe in the future we'll be able to make it work on a specific section of the forum or in the context of helpful content or even to reward creative content (e.g when someone posts a tutorial or a magazine). In that use case, it's likely that only staff members would be able to officially recognize content. But that's all stuff we'll revisit post-launch.

It's a completely different server that we bought for ATRL's future growth. I should also point out that this forum itself is the problem, not necessarily the server. The forum itself has outdated software and a bloated database that would give any server a rough time.
Did new rich Melvin pay off Athens with promises of expensive clothes that you can just buy at Ross and the most expensive Lush bath bombs to make him a Beta tester?
Did daddy bear umich also pay off Athens via iTunes gift cards and also donate some coins to the Kiit Coochie Foundation?
No to a karma/reputation/like system. People will still reply with"//////" when it comes to messy posts and thread. Plus, I think it would be some huge popularity contest.
but having dislikes is a bad idea.
