I don't agree that some blockchain mechanism that doesn't exist yet and has the potential to harm the value proposition of Steem is needed when there is already the ability for any Steem stakeholder to downvote the posts or comments. There are also scripts available to automatically downvote accounts' posts or comments. If you really care about the allocation of the reward pool, use your stake to downvote posts or comments you believe are overvalued.

Every propositions has the potential to have some undesired effect.
There still some difference with what bot can do as these aren't anonymous like what was proposed by Dan.
I do use my stake to downvote some posts and comments.
I still think Dan's idea of vote cancelling has some interesting points. I don't know about the feasibility of implementing it but I still think this particular idea has some merits.
Hy teamsteem ,, happy to know you ,, regards from itikna09, great success greetings, do not forget the vost and his comments blog @ itikna09, follow me ,,,
While I'm coming around to the idea myself, I think it's potentially dangerous if there isn't substantial direct oversight, which might be hard.
Forgive me if I am ignorant, but wouldn't the suggestions above simply accomplish a similar (and theoretically, more user friendly) version of this function you noted?
"There are also scripts available to automatically downvote accounts' posts or comments."
Should using your own influence tokens to entirely counter someone else's influence tokens indiscriminately be user-friendly? I mention it as a possibility, not as a recommendation.
Indeed, you did. It seems to me that if we make it possible via script, it might as well be fully supported (or removed). Having it be partially controlled by a technical barrier to entry seems to me, at best, a half- or temporary-measure.
I agree.
It's more about being correct or not. Planes aren't user-friendly but they can't be to accomplish what they are build to accomplish.
It is the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do?
I understand your concern. I think they is more ups than downs to this proposition and that's more of an educated guest on my part than a absolute truth.
