This system seems inherently flawed, is there a breakdown somewhere why this was the design decision?

If this site acts anything like reddit, people will at a point jump in the downvote train and will be "unfairly" downvoted en masse. If the upvote button next to the downvote doesn't offset that I expect we'll see a lot of negative reputation.

Maybe it's a technical hurdle or something -- and it's not like it's that important anyway -- but kinda seems just strange to me.

There was no design decision. Kbin was not ready for prime time and Ernest has said as much. Everything was slapped together and will take time to sort out.
