I knew about the down voting but up voting never cost me any reputation points.
bobbym, yes. I am on MO, MSE and a few other of their sites.
]]>Hi ShivamS,
Downvoting costs 1pt to the voter and 2 for the recipient.
]]>I also think it should cost more than 2 rep points. If an up vote is 5 or more, so should a down vote.
I thought they didn't cause any reputation points? Mine stay the same?

I flagged their downvotes and wrote the moderators. Here is their answer:
I am only mentioning this because I just had a problem in another thread with someone who kept down voting me even when others upvoted. I eventually removed the post out of frustration. Is this answer so bad as to be down voted. Looking up in a text for a known series is a legitimate way to at least get an answer. So is Wolfram, I see others citing it. Answer is real bad? I will remove it and learn from the experience. – bobbym 12 mins ago helpful - Downvoting often indicates that users didn't feel the answer was helpful. (Even technically correct answer can be legitimately downvoted).
