There are notifications for upvotes in the Question section, but not for a downvote.
Sometimes I'll see some activity on an old post and check it out, while there I'll sometimes find that I've accumulated several downvotes on an answer. I try to give good answers, but sometimes I'll misunderstand the original question. Or maybe I have not written my answer clearly enough. Either way, downvotes are an indication to delete the answer, or re-write it. Getting a notification when a downvote occurs would make the process faster and easier.
It would also be great if there was a reason (like a comment) attached to a downvote. It would make it clearer if the answer is misunderstood, wrong, or something else.
