I downvoted your comment because you seem to be trying to solve the problem that your first post got downvoted, not the problem posed by the OP. Do you have an argument why requiring explanations for downvoting will reduce trolling and increase the signal to noise ratio on LW? Note that the founder of LW has argued for being more downvote-happy.
