This method only works within your magazine, and will remove downvotes or upvotes on comments as well as posts.

To implement it, go to Magazine Panel -> Appearance, and enter the following in your CSS box to remove downvotes:

{span style="color:#323232;"}.vote__down { display: none !important; } {/span}

and/or for upvotes:

{span style="color:#323232;"}.vote__up { display: none !important; } {/span}

Example with downvotes removed : @13thFloor

Many thanks to @Anafroj for writing the original CSS code, and suggesting it as a way to combat trolls. Note this test shows that standard CSS works in Kbin, but you do have to replace <> with {} to get it to parse properly.

This isn't a perfect solution, but it should mitigate the amount of users that try to sink communities through downvote spam.

Thanks to @some_guy and @cre0 for posing for the picture.

I'm coming to that conclusion myself - thus far in my experiment on the 13th floor, I've had one subscriber leave, but gained another five since. I've left a pinned thread up as an opportunity for folks to comment, but haven't heard any complaints other than the ones here, so it seems like most of my readers agree with your assessment.
