    No there ain't.

    Just ignore the little s0ds. The thumbs make no difference to your ratings.

    EDIT:

    They seem to be at it tonight by the look of it.

    No there is not. That is top prevent flame wars with the TDs, which is the only reason anyone would want to know. But consider the following.

    Take a simple question. What is your favorite color? (note this question is a violation, but for illustrative purposes here). If you answer pink and someone answers blue, instead of other people answering blue or pink, they just TU/TD the answers. If they don't like your pink and are neutral on blue, they may TD you and do nothing for the other answer. It is nothing personal, it is just away of agreeing or not.

    However, thumbs down can be gotten for many reasons, only one of which is the correct usage. Some of the ways:

    1. the answer is incorrect or you disagree with an opinion (the only real reasons)

    2. you sound over 18 (believe it or not)

    3. you support the rules on YA

    4. you understand the rules of YA

    5. you take the site seriously

    6. you answered the question (some answerers will TD all other answers)

    7. it was fun (random playing)

    8. you are in the military, a policeman, or some authority figure

    9. etc -

    very few TDs are legit so don't sweat it unless you get one say on a science or math question, then review your answer for a mistake
