I certainly would not take the ability for an individual to downvote, though. I also hate it when people suggest going onto discord as a "solution." If something is wrong in the community, there should be a way to address it within the community, otherwise, why don't we all just give this hive thing up and go and make posts on discord? Just like we have witnesses, I don't see why there couldn't be a Downvoting board elected to be notified when someone is violating the community's guidelines, but the community first needs to come into agreement on guidelines. If the downvoting group gets out of hand, we could "vote them off the island" much like representatives...like people appointed judges with terms, but no term limits. You'll never be able to outsmart the cheats because people will always find a way to cheat, but we can mitigate it...I am thinking very much in terms of separation of powers in my thoughts regarding a Downvoting board...but they'd have to be compensated and we'd have to be able to flag the perpetrators...I think YouTube and Facebook have teams that do similar work for posts on their sites.

Thank you very much. I like your ideas. It’s been made pretty obvious to me at this point now how the system can be circumvented. The best we can do is work together against it.
