Well, frankly said, I might be a critic. German speakers might relate to "Bedenkenträger" (sorry for the umlaut!).

How can I claim that reputation in SQLA easily?

I thought "Bedenkenträger" meant "I want the SQLA Administrator to beat me with a stick", but that just shows I should stick to English :) – Breck Carter♦ Dec 18 at 19:43
Folks have up-voted your question back to zero points! <g> ( for people who are new to SQLA, this is not StackOverflow, we don't take points quite as seriously here :) – Breck Carter♦ Dec 20 at 22:42

It's that easy:

Just upvote a question or answer by accident and then try to redo your upvote by clicking on the downvote button.

You might think this will undo your upvote but that's not the case: It immediately works as a downvote (and you aren't asked whether you mean to do so).

Well, what have you expected? A downvote is a downvote. To undo an upvote, just click on the upvote button again. (And to undo a downvote, guess, just click on the downvote button again.)

And please note: Once you clicked on the downvote button, you get your "Critic" badge, and you will hold it no matter whether you left any downvotes permanently or not...

Call me "Critic by accident":)

 Oops, i accidently downvoted your answer (ok, more kind of intentially). But due to your fine description I could undo that easily. +1 ! – Reimer Pods Dec 18 at 17:43
I did it like @Reimer – Zote Dec 18 at 18:04
Eventually, maybe after Christmas, there will be some more traffic on SQLA, and you guys will have something to do <g> – Breck Carter♦ Dec 18 at 19:48
...otherwise the SQLA Administrator might gonna beat you ... (cf. Breck's comment on my question) :) – Volker Barth Dec 20 at 12:05
Oh, I see the Innsbruck beta is available - so no more time for "silly" FAQ questions - Back to the real challenges:) – Volker Barth Dec 20 at 12:16

According to the Badges description here, you are "awarded" this badge for your first "DOWN" vote.

Sorry, Chris, I was too slow with my own answer, as you might see from that. It wasn't considered a "real" question but a description of unexpected SQLA behaviour (IMHO) ... However, this comment itself contains critic. Guess now I really earned the badge:) – Volker Barth Dec 18 at 14:40
