A bit confusing. Presumably you mean “after giving an upvote”. In other words, to disincentivize upvotes.
Sounds like exactly the opposite of what would encourage friendly civil discourse: disincentivizing downvotes.
Slashdot got this right decades ago. No upvotes, no downvotes, just tags. Such as “informative”, “insightful”, “funny”, and a couple of more negative ones like (IIRC) “provocative” or “controversial”, which at least force you to say why you’re promoting or hating on someone’s good-faith contribution. But apparently that was all just too complex for the simpletons we really are.
