Yeah, I like the ideas because you could show the user why people are downvoting where sometimes it isn't clear why he is getting downvoting.

But just a disclaimer is less intrusive which is nice.

Maybe needing a reason for downvoting

Unless you also need a reason for upvoting, that's a bad idea. It sets up a hugbox philosophy of "Feel free to support someone, but if you disagree, keep it to yourself" as site policy, which really seems like the opposite of the thing we want to do, in light of the whole Rexodus thing.

Then again, even requiring reasons wouldn't help, since the same thing has gone on at slashdot for nearly 20 years.
