Downvoting is essential for comments in the instance that a comment contains spoilers in a no-spoiler comment thread in discussions about books, shows, or movies. Using comments to highlight something as spoilers without the ability for the post to become hidden would only make the spoiler worse. This is just one use case.

I think the ideal solution is to simply change the mechanic of the downvote button so that it requires the user to select the subverse specific rule which the comment has violated each time they press the button:
