Since all of this is talking about the classification of submissions, this is irrelevant, because you can't downvote submissions, only comments.

At least, I don't yet have enough karma to downvote submissions.

Submissions can be flagged.

I'd argue they should be downvotable as well, though you're right, they're not.

Incidentally, comments can also be flagged (on the comment link view only, not in the forum view).
