Huh. You figure that the lack of negative reinforcement is going to draw the downvote-shy lurkers out in a big way? I always figured those are the same folks who lurk 4chan, browse SA, and never participate much anywhere else - the "fear of downvotes" is just an excuse. There are almost always going to be "silent majority" readers, I'm not sure if the exclusively positive-reinforcement model is going to change that where other systems with no negative reinforcement at all have failed. I dunno, mostly just musing, but I'm not sure that it's such a make-it feature or trait.
