I think I get it now after seeing this comment... I'd still say it's not a great polling method due to the fact you need multiple people to follow simple instructions, and that just isn't going to happen.

In my experience (midsize to smaller subreddits mostly) downvotes were fairly effective at identifying and weeding out comments and posts that were off-topic, mean-spirited, promotional, or just incoherent. Reports I personally try to save for clear violation of the instance rules, but downvotes can be a softer way to filter out low quality content. With that being said, at the current community size I haven't really felt any reason to downvote anything, but as the community grows I think it will be useful.

The Way of Kings was recommended to me by a coworker a few months back, now I'm about a quarter through Rhythm of War and plan to start mistborn once I'm done with that.
