Disabled downvoting. Thoughts?

Citizens of r/ExMuslim,

some of you have noticed the downvote brigade that's been active recently targeting select posts and submissions that go against a specific religion.

We are experimenting now with the disabled downvote arrows. This will only be with self posts and submissions, comment arrows are still unchanged.

So please discuss here the pros and cons of this action, and of course report any abuse, spam or trolling you might encounter.

Edit: a new feature for anyone who wants to participate is the flair badge, where you can display [since -year-] next to your username, of course the year indicates when you've left islam (will be displayed on r/exmuslim only). it's just a fun feature, you can ignore it of course.

Thank you.
