I think downvoting based on “violations” is a mistake but it is where we are today.
The main reason I say it’s a mistake is because defining these things sounds easy on paper but is not straightforward.
Also it's a mistake because it creates a world where downvotes are not used. If you get a bunch of upvotes but then people post a bunch of spam and that spam gets upvotes, even if your upvotes stay the same you will get less rewards.
That's why I said if downvotes are to be used even when it's not a violation case the downvoter's aim should not be about removing the rewards from that post, he can just make the percentage for the downvote so small it doesn't cancel alot of rewards.
That is a good point! I am thinking with my own downvotes I may create this lobbying process I am thinking of for this reason.
I think eventually I will find someone who is interested in my original idea, but even if not, people should be able to lobby my downvotes on chain and not just the person in question.
Exactly, lets hope this goes as planned for a better hive😊
Goodnight by the way, its mid night here🌃
