Hmm. You joined three days ago, wrote a post, it got downvoted to −13 (I didn’t downvote but also felt it was nonsense), several people explained to you why, you didn’t understand their explanations, and now you write a petition to make inarticulate downvoting more difficult, which wouldn’t help with your problem. Not a good start.
And honestly I think your feelings of “strong affinity” with LW aren’t on a good path. Maybe revert to not-very-strong affinity, treat LW as a place to chat in a more relaxed way, and let affinity grow mutually? As one of my teachers in university said, when giving an A to a student who had attended each and every class: “Relationships should be symmetric”.
