Currently the Beltchecker system is set up in a way that DISPUTING ranks brings more attention to it and "is meant" (in the sense that ultimately it's the community's decision but...) in the way that it's to be taken seriously.

Examples: negative votes show up on top, are visually eye-drawing and also if there's a negative vote on a profile you've given a positive vote on you get a notification!

The platform is non-anonymous. It would be very detrimental for the original idea o the platform if people started to do ironic or joke votes, actually either positively voting for someone they don't actually think is legit but even moreso in cases of giving negative votes to someone they actually do not / would not dispute.
