Indeed, on that we will have to disagree.
Downvotes are part of the system and with HF21 coming people should be ready for more passionate actors to safeguard their stake with them. It would be a shame if he stopped posting entirely but if a contrary downvote bothers him so much then perhaps it's for the best.
Rewards are not yours until the end of the voting window and the total is the sum of the upvotes minus the downvotes. It's as simple as that
Well in my opinion there is a big problem with downvoting. Most people who get a downvote just go to the downvoter and give him a downvote too on one or all of his posts. Thats what makes it very hard for small Accounts to downvote a big Account, because they will lose all their rewards.
I think the only solution to solve that problem is to create a second Account that does not post but only downvote bad content.
Hopefully though, that might change. I would always recommend that a small account not downvote a gigantic account but it doesnt always end in a flag war
I don't really create content now. I just up and down vote, it's easier that way
