Having had the experience of being dowmvoted when asking an honest question in a comment, and receiving a downvote instead, makes me a bit apprenhensive to ask questions at all.
If someone doesn't agree with something and wants to display their authority status of "I do not agree," a response would be better.
Plus, I have heard of people downvoting by accident.
Perhaps a compromise solution would be a downvote could happen if the downvoter actually made a comment, at which point, subjecting that response to being able to be downvoted as well, if necessary.
Hopefully someone else can back me up on that, but it might not be an available feature unless you have a certain amount of karma.
I didn't notice the setting for some reason, though it is enabled to "yes".

To clarify, I thought there may have been an additional page that was the "settings" page. It's been a long day, though, and I'm stuck doing some debugging so my mind isn't all here at the moment.
Is there not a "showdead" toggle right below the field for your email address? I had always thought that setting was available independent of any karma threshold...
Other than that I guess it’s okay as a website.
