I'm surprised this isn't a part of the official HN guidelines, it would be good to adopt it from Reddiquitte:

> (Do not...) Downvote an otherwise acceptable post because you don't personally like it. Think before you downvote and take a moment to ensure you're downvoting someone because they are not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion. If you simply take a moment to stop, think and examine your reasons for downvoting, rather than doing so out of an emotional reaction, you will ensure that your downvotes are given for good reasons.

Downvotes should not be used as an "I disagree" button, that is what the reply button is for.
