I’m of the opinion that downvotes are useful for self moderation of troll/off-topic comments or posts.

People also use it as a disagree button. That use doesn’t bother me personally but I see a lot of users get upset about having a negative score on a comment.

I think the best method is to keep the votes and either hide the score total or to not visibly show any score that’s less than 1
