I never said downvote doesn't discourages spam (I hate double negative). It does. I DV to discourage spam. I also downvote to disagree with reward and will continue to do so. This is my last word and end of this discussion.

You can quit speaking at your convenience. I assure you the discussion won't end just because your participation in it does.
Regardless, I do appreciate the opportunity to discuss the matter with you.
Flagging Hive users other than spammers and scammers is opinion flagging and censorship. Censoring Hive users is bad for the platform, and bad for society. People depend on free speech because it provides safety signals that can be a matter of life and death. Censorship kills.
You can censor on numerous platforms where it is expected by those using them. Hive is not such a platform. The value of the platform to it's users is largely determined by it's censorship resistance, and by flagging Hive users that are not spammers, you are degrading the platform and reducing it's value to the community.
Please do not do this on Hive. The current token price is artificially suppressed precisely because of the censorship that has been undertaken here, and the denial that is commonly resorted to by the censors who have refused to use the actual definition of censorship and claim a plethora of excuses to justify that censorship that are seen as duplicitous by ordinary users of social media. This causes them to not come here and post, which would benefit all Hive users if they did.
If you cannot restrain your urge to flag and censor, go ruin some other platform.
Thank you.
