I have a very simple rule that I rarely break. If someone’s post is worth replying to, I don’t downvote. It’s only if a response would be pointless that I downvote.
On rare occasions, I even upvote people who disagree with me if they said it well or made some good points or conceded some ground though not the “war” I think that’s worth upvoting.
My client keeps a reputation counter totaling the up and downvotes someone receives from me. It tends to be asshole behavior that draws a downvote from me, so if someone manages to rack up a significantly negative total (I’ve never seen anyone hit even -10) that’s a good sign to just block them.
Other than that, nothing and it’s rare I bother with them.
