If I recall reading correctly, downvotes affect karma, but upvotes don't.

In case kbin introduces some kind of gamification rewarding system, isn't that counterintuitive, esoecially since both buttons are equally positioned?

It's on slate to be changed I believe, but the focus right now is just on keeping the site up and running.

Yeah, it's best to view the current system as very temporary.
