"Please don't downvote comments that are only mildly mistaken or disagreeable to scores as low as -10. That kind of score should only be for spams and trolls."
Why not just limit it to -5? There's already the flag for spam and trolls. Just add that to comments as well as posts.
You've just exposed one of my objections against this type of limit: it's arbitrary. -5? -10? -15?... I don't like arbitrary limits if we can do without.
