RE: Addressing downvotes. Recently, posts have been downvoted in our Informationwar and Deepdives community by non-community members

in #blog3 years ago

Be honest with you the entire need for a downvote system is stupid and should be removed. If you seriously have to rely on downvotes to try and keep people from spamming etc well there there's something seriously flawed with the system itself. Downvotes should be removed in HF25 and replaced with something else to prevent spamming. They are misused far to often. With tribes I believe some people simply mark wrong tags and can be downvoted because of that. Instead I'd like to see something like a flag where if that tag doesn't belong to that community it can be flagged by trusted curator accounts to not receive rewards from it. No negative effect other then you're not getting payout from that tribe because the content doesn't below there.

Sort:  

please consider reviewing your witness votes

each and every account has exactly 30 votes assigned

UNUSED votes are de facto votes for the oligarchs

Would be interesting to see something like that.

I only consider downvotes to be legitimate for if someone stole my content or tried to start some violence against someone(like doxxing someone and saying lets go kill them). Other than that, I don't think there should really be downvotes.

the comment that was deleted simply said, "this happens a lot" - in response to someone asking why they'd been flagged for plagiarism for something they wrote themselves

and the "comment spam" was merely 13 comments where I was attempting to highlight THIS:
