I down vote posts I think are bad for the sites reputation / public image. I think people who like controversy or trolling privately benefit from such posts and externalize reputation all harms onto the site overall. I also think people in general benefit from a forum with good members and don’t factor in long term reputational effects. I use karma to help people internalize these better.

Is civil, well argued disagreement bad for the site’s reputation?
It shouldn’t be. It’s one of the things I love about the site.
