My-Scope, I think you're missing the point. This isn't about plain old oppose votes. This happened because people were being needlessly rude with their oppose votes. The average oppose vote is harmless and serves a purpose, but once people start crossing that line, then its time for something to be done. We can't have our authors and illustrator's work needlessly insulted because it doesn't promote the kind of community we want on this site.
