Hi @ksbuchanan
Downvoting should only be reserved for suggestions/solutions that could be potentially harmful for a Splunk environment or goes completely against known best practices. Simply commenting with constructive feedback on the post you are concerned with will be more beneficial for the community to learn from.
Some of the most active members in Answers have helped set the standard of how voting etiquette should work in the Splunk community which distinguishes our culture apart from other Q&A forums. Upvote early and often to give credit where it’s due for high quality posts, comment where you think feedback needs to be given, and only downvote if something potentially dangerous is suggested or people are just being inappropriate.
If you’re interested in seeing how this voting etiquette was developed, check out this Splunk Answers post: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/244111/proper-etiquette-and-timing-for-voting-here-on-ans.html
