As a method to combat spam, DR currently hides post from feed if it gets 2 downvotes as "offensive/spam", A good method indeed, but if we could increase that threshold a little higher, that would be great.

I have seen posts with -1 votes at one point, later having 16 points. That means, if the initial people who see it don't agree to post and downvote it as "offensive/spam" (they shouldn't), Then it will be hidden and no one will be able to see the post. That would be unfair and is apparently a form of "censorship" with control in the hands of initial viewers.

That's why we should increase the Downvote Threshold a bit more, and then it would be better.
