Seems a bit redundant to me. Don't know why, totally subjective. Generally well-used experiences choose one or the other. There are exceptions. How do other feel about it?
I'm currently in the process of designing a community for a major software company. We pulled downvoting out because we found we didn't need the negative signals in the system. No way to show cause and effect because we made a lot of changes to the design, but we have much higher engagement w/o downvoting.
Keep it positive. Lose the up/down. IMO.
