Contribution System
Difference between en5 and en6, changed 27 character(s)
I think It'd be valuable to change the contribution system in codeforces. Unlike other platforms like [leetcode](https://leetcode.com/), codeforces doesn't motivate its users to tip towards positivity. We could do this in at least two ways.↵
↵
One way would be to demotivate users that love downvoting everything with public titles that highlight their passion for putting others down. This could either be a threshold in their downvote/$\frac{\text{downvotes}}{\text{total votes}}$ ratio or something more complex. Of course we can have a similar feature for upvoters that like to spread love and only use the downvote button when they find something particularly bad.↵
↵
Another way would be what leetcode does. That is to have a minor penalty for downvoting too much and no penalty for upvoting so that members of the community use their downvoting ability more wisely and selectively.↵
↵
I think that features like this, along with monitoring upvote/downvote statistics more closely, will help us move towards a better [contribution system](https://codeforces.com/help#q9), which admittedly has room for improvement.↵
↵
What do you guys think?
