If something has had enough downvotes to go invisible it's nearly always because offensive, smartass, or spam.
The problem with downvote for everyone, including sock puppet accounts, is it becomes Reddit: "I disagree, have a downvote"
Why does someone has more right than me to decide what's offensive, smartass or spam? Either leave that to the administration, or give that to everyone.

YMMV but I'm experiencing absolutely the same here.
Btw, when I agree, I upvote. Why can't I downvote when I disagree?
Exactly my point. "Karma Privilege"
