I wonder how many of the proponents for the 200% vote have thought of the effect that would have on down vote efforts to prevent abuse such as haejin an rancho are perceived to be doing. It takes a lot of effort to cancel out or remove their vote. What effect would two free 200% down votes do? Would the larger orcas look more closely at malicious down voting of content because the the down voter disagreed with the content not the rewards, or malicious down voting because of country or race or politics. Right now when the largest accounts down vote content there is not much people, even other large orcas can do about it.
There is a lot that can be done on the up and down voting front, I hope for HF 26 some of the vote issues can be resolved.
I think that for the most part, a lot of the malicious downvoting has been counteracted by the community. What has been interesting is that some of the people who have been getting downvoted haven't built up much social capital through their behavior. For example, some of the POB stuff that has been going on. However, they can still earn and do earn a lot of POB, which is the benefit of the tribes and one of the reasons for having these niche tokens.
There is a place for all types on line, and I am sure that tribes will grow, especially with some of the tools being developed at Hive-Engine for second layer applications.
