Hi @pundito my friend,

thanks for your detailed opinion about that topic!
I know what you mean! It's pretty hard to find out from a technical point of view (regarding the eventual harm to the reputation or something like that) - especially for a programming noob lol
No, downvoting is not okay in my eyes! Some people really use their HP for abusing it for censoring important posts ..

Yeah it feels "wrong" for me too - I don't know why. I tried it a long time to test if it makes my reputation rise less quick or anything but I couldn't notice ..

lol nice to hear that they went to the light side of HIVE :P
