if reward abuse is a thing then certainly downvote abuse is a thing as well and should be regulated
Well-stated.
i do not see the need for downvotes on a tribe level because cases of abuse, plagiarism, etc can be addressed with a simple mute.
That option is definitely on the table and will likely be where I focus my attention next if these proposals both fail.
like one of the commenters suggested there should a third option--absentation
Agreed. I am hopeful proofofbrainio will modify the governance protocol in the near future so that an abstention does not equate to a "NO" vote.
