I strongly support your point, @thranax
(Personally I would say the same - "shame on them" (lastpass). And I have nothing against @leprechaun personally.)
But what is to much - is to much.
Look at this, at the voting sequence, and timing.
This post collected almost half of the rewards in the first 27 seconds. Clearly an auto-votes. There is no doubt rewards were allocated without @richardcrill and @faireye even seeing and/or reading this post, on which they placed a vote.
Such things I can NOT tolerate. Hence - my downvote.
And please see this my DV mainly not as against author (uploading a short 34 word post is not a crime), it is more against @richardcrill and @faireye , placing their massive votes on posts which they have not even seen in their eyes.
If such things will intensify, I'm thinking on launching my auto voting script, which will follow all massive autovotes in the first 30 seconds, and oppose them with my downvotes.
Don't be surprised if you see them one day
I saw my reputation score drop from 61 down to 60. I was surprised how happy I was when my rep got to 60. I had convinced myself I didn't care. I don't think I should care. I know it is kind of foolish and the rep score can be totally in relation to real reputation which is subjective and not numerical. I made a post about centralized flagging.
My DV was made from my onealfa.pob account, and no way this could make this big REP drop. I just don't understand this, why you have seen that drop
I made now a small test, made a 100% upvote on your other post, from my main acct with a 2858x Times larger Hive power ( 265902 HP, instead of only 128 HP on onealfa.pob). And you know what, this 2858x times larger vote made a tiny change in your REP score, only +0.062 ( from 60.872 to 60.934).
So my guess is, my 128HP power DV could have been making only 0.062 : 2858 = 0.000022 drop in your reputation score)
just made a few more UP's, so you are back to "61".
Even I don't believe the drop was from my DV
I had never intentions to hurt the REP, only the POW rewards
It might be from another down vote. I might have been 61.005. Thank you I appreciate that.
Well, I'm going to be honest, I was going to put a negative vote for proofofbrain, but I did not do it because I thought that everyone who has a lot of power would go against me and I would never win a single token.
That is why I came to you leaving a message and for you to decide, and I see that we both thought the same.
As I say there are many people who make very good posts and are not even voted and others vote by the weight of their vote
From a transparency perspective, your communication is solid. You're explaining why the DV occurs which is something that is lacking in the blockchain. It allows for debate and scrutiny that, hopefully, leads to more objective behaviors.
