It's not a perfect solution to dealing with misanthropes.
But it would slow them some, and force a little balance into their painful existence.

If you can't see the problem with a vote deficit, then I think you're not trying.
If you can't see the problem with unchecked vote manipulation, then I know you're messing with me.
I'd be surprised if I actually need to tell you this, but there is nothing you can ever do that someone can't find a way around. The trick is to make the effort high enough that it is either not worth it, or the results are too slow to be significant.
I will decide the score for each post and comment from now on. I hereby declare that your last comment will have 7 upvotes and 1 downvote.
If I can't downvote with one account because I have negative score, there's nothing stopping me from creating an alt to downvote? I'd keep using the account with negative score to comment and the alt to downvote
