    I really think an explanation page or pop-up that appears when you first click on a downvote would do much to help with that.

      It does, but only for snaps. And it can sometimes take a moment to appear if the server is under load. Plus, I've seen people list "no reason" from the box without clarifying in a comment, which doesn't help.

      I'm of the opinion that "no reason" and no option downvotes shouldn't count toward the votes on a snap.

        I meant for comments.

        Maybe triggering the popup via javascript would bypass server load?

          I agree. I would love the popup for any downvote. But since I'm not an admin I don't know how feasible that might be.
