If you want to get rid of downvotes, do the following:
1 - figure out who the FAF admins/moderators are, and just downvote everything they post
2 - downvote all of the good posts
The admins will get sick of seeing "-3" next to all their posts and the voting system itself will become useless when every good post is stuck at 0 or -2
We don't get the forums that we DESERVE, we get the forums that we are willing to TOLERATE. Make injustice intolerable and it will go away.
