The issue I see with downzapping is that you might not actually be downvoting bad content, but rather content you simply don't like. However, if downzapping has a limited weight in the calculation of rewards, I think it could be a useful feature.
I'm imagining it working just like zapping top content works. You'd only get credit for downzapping content that other high trust people have downzapped.
It's basically a way to pay for community policing, which I think is an important element of organic content curation.

Ah, that makes much more sense now. I hadn't considered it from that perspective. Thanks for clarifying.
