I can't support any witness who supports 10% free downvotes, thanks for disapproving that. A vote is a vote and no matter how you use it, it should cost you some VP(aka mana).
That's why I'm in favour of a separate downvote pool, with a downvote power of at maximum 3x -100% downvotes (Roughly 20-30% of the voting mana) with the reason to start small and to see & analyse what the consequences/results are.
I still think keeping VP(or mana as its now called) the way it is a solid way of doing things. A separate downvote pool might make people feel like they have to use their downvotes or they will lose it. It's not like that, simply downvote the posts that you feel shouldn't be rewarded.
If we don't separate upvotes from downvotes or at least incentivize people to use them, then nothing will change and abuse will prevail.
Downvotes get a % of curation as well.
It still is curating, just curating it as a bad post instead of a good one.
It's just an idea, not a very well developed one, but one I could come up with. If I get(or see/hear/read) anything better, I'll be jumping on that train.
I understand the idea. But don't you think it will have conflicted interest? Downvoting and receiving curation?
Yea, it's not thought out at all. Maybe someone will come up with something better. I just don't like the separate pool for flags. But seeing it in action can change my mind. Hopefully witnesses can discuss this throughly and come up to a good solution.
