Simply put, every time you downvoat, it will take ten of your accumulated CCP. This will keep people from downvoating like crazy because they'd run out in a short amount of time.
Edit:
Excellent points on punishing people who downvoat correctly.
We could perhaps make a system in which a number of downvoats will flag a post. A moderator will look at the post and determine if it meets the requirement for spam or whatnot. Then the offending post is removed, REWARDING the downvoaters with 25 CCP. It would be in effect be a deposit on your downvoat. should you downvoat effectively you will see a net gain in CCP.

Fuck that.
@Johnny_Pott, @i_am_not_crazy and all all those who keep voat clean from amalek spam should not be punished. We work hard so that spammers get downvoated and this would fuck helpful members of the community.

yea this is fucking dumb. I have 198 submissions I downvoated and 99% are Amalek spam, so you want to punish me for downvoating a spammer?

Then CCP will not mean CCP (comment contribution point) anymore. It will be some magic points that cant be counted rationally to see if someone contributes with good comments anymore. But since you formulated your suggestion so well you will have an upvoat even if I disagree. :)
