I only agree with two rules: be awesome to each other (if in kind) and downvote is not a disagree button, it's a troll button.
Dictating other rules, like the use of the edit keyword or how to measure scale of something... Is not awesome.

Alright, a question for you all about down voting. Is the platform, or the apps made for it take it into account for feeds?
ie, if I down vote everything I don't like seeing does it get removed from my feed? If so I'd just down vote and move on. If not, I'd probably not down vote, but even if I did, I'd feel like I need to give a reason behind it for the poster to know.
I don't believe there's any instance with an algorithm, so no. In the future someone might launch an instance with an algorithm like that.
It's not as personal as that. Down voting just means that the post/comment will be further down if you're sorting by 'top'. The more upvotes the closer that thing will be to the top of the page. It's not just for you, it's for everyone. If that makes sense?
Right, got it, thanks a lot. I'll stop downvoting in that case, except if something is really offensive.
