Add Downvoting to griply featurebase

Feature Requests

I like being able to downvote feature suggestions, since plenty of features clearly aren’t liked by the community but can’t be downvoted. With enough downvotes, a suggestion should be deleted or scheduled for deletion.

Right now, features just pile up, and the only way forward is upvotes, so even bad features look good because they can only collect upvotes. We need downvoting to push the trash down and let the good stuff rise.

Also, please disable the auto-upvote when I leave a comment. Commenting doesn’t always mean I like the feature; sometimes I’m just commenting because I can’t downvote.

    since plenty of features clearly aren’t liked by the community but can’t be downvoted

    May I inquire as to which features these might be?

    I’d like to add that downvotes would only really give the developers a number to work with for understanding user sentiment/desire for the feature, which probably isn’t as useful to them as leaving a constructive comment explaining why you disapprove of a post.

    That said, since commenting is the only real way to express disapproval for features, removing auto-upvotes for posts from commenting would be nice. I’m probably going to have to do that with this post..
