Yes, I totally agree. In the last few weeks, I have seen some totally legit targets for being on −10 and not visible unless you you click on them, such as the ‘click’ posts, repetitive spam about that other website, probably the weird guy who just got banned from the open thread too.
However, I have also seen people advocate using mass downvoting on an OK-but-not-great article on cults that they just disagree with, and now someone wants to downvote to oblivion a joke in the open thread. Why? Is humor banned?

Agreed.
I think humour is a mixed bag. Sometimes good and sometimes bad. In my ideal situation there would be a place for humour to happen where people can choose to go, or choose not to go. Humour should exist but mixing it in with everything else is not always great.
Why does everyone want to downvote everything, ever!? Seriously, lighten up!!!
no, some things would benefit from being voted down out of existence.
