Downvoting when User hearts are already empty
Choosing Downvote when User hearts are empty, will add to Quality and doesn't immediately mark Users as red (needing attention). Is there any downside to boosting Quality in this way, or would it be a better choice than first raising the User hearts (thru upvotes)?

Actually, the code is now out on GitHub and the values can go into the negatives (but you won't see it). That's how stats get red and need attention when they reach a certain negative value (below -1.5)
public IEnumerable<StackEggStat> CriticalStats() {
return StatsLessThan(-1.5);
}
Considering this, and the fact that upvoting or downvoting as the same effect regardless of the User stats real value, it doesn't matter which is done first.
