In general, requests to not downvote are akin to “don’t register your disapproval of this.” I think most people generally disprove of requests to not register disapproval. Particularly because such requests are (likely) correlated with sub-par content.
That said, I think neutral karma discussions are an interesting idea. Trying to shield the OP itself from downvotes was a mistake.
