Personally, I see DVs as toxic, especially within a tribe/community, except for clearly-banned activity that is objectively demonstrable, such as plagiarism.
Me too! I understand that DVs are necessary but they are the reason for conflicts when used maliciously.
Btw, these are some great suggestions @trostparadox. We can use a community-owned Downvote curation trail to automate the whole downvoting process. That trail will trigger when a particular number (let's say 5) of the community oracles downvote a post with de minimus DV. These community-selected oracles will ensure that the DV process is being followed and malicious activities are punished.
Regarding malicious downvoting, we need to properly define what exactly is considered malicious on POB. I am looking forward to see how we develop a community-consensus protocol for this particular issue.
I don't know if it's feasible but can we ask users to add a 'mandatory' comment to explain the reasons for their DV when they do it? Maybe it can be done on the front-end. This will help others to understand why someone's being downvoted and then they can base their judgment on it.
Good point.
I would support the "the technical" change, that EACH DV could not be casted out unless a certain length ( min 5-6 words? ) of explanation is attached. If only this can be implemented somehow . I'm not a coder, IDK
Such change would bring much more clarity, transparency, why did the DV took place
I think this could be done on the UI but not sure how much feasible it is to do it right now in the new ecency like frontend of POB. Maybe @leprechaun could answer.
I think it is in poor taste to not leave a comment when downvoting. I have no issue with there being a 5-6 word minimum for any downvote cast, or even a list of selections like:
Etc...because if you simply require a number of words or characters, it would not be very hard to get past that and still leave no feedback. A list to choose from would also give a guideline for a downvote built into the system.
Then what?
Would this leave the space without any further debate? It still would produce disagreements on what exactly is "spam" "tag-using" "poke in the ribs" and most importantly "limiting reward pool".
I would say that only plagiarism can be detected and proven. The rest is up to debate. Oh and NSFW (porn, yes?)
I am not saying, I have a solution where I find there is none by influencing the features. Only to take this whole realm not too seriously and not make oneself fully dependent on it (in both, financial and emotional terms).

You and me both, kiddo...you and me both 😁😎😁
