A random vote order could potentially turn into a nice bonus for those supporters, but play out like a daily lottery. That's a lot of SP following the first few votes. Could be another potential incentive to power up as well, leading to more powerful votes, more curation rewards, more bank for you folks. People like those little perks and having another small reason to power up doesn't hurt. So that's something to think about.
Should our post rewards get downvoted, that would mean that BuildTeam would have to charge more premium fees instead of a freemium model.
That wording makes me uncomfortable. It's like saying member 'X' must put up with an inorganic post posing as something popular on the trending page, or everyone else pays a price.
It's your responsibility to create something appealing to lower the odds of receiving downvotes, so your customers can stay happy.
It wouldn't be fair to those curating and using downvotes as they see fit if you closed up shop and told hundreds of customers, "It's the fault of a few people who used downvotes."
That would create unnecessary animosity in a worst-case scenario.
In the post above I see a lot of rules and you're expecting to see quality. You can, too. ;)
I'm not saying the post above is shoddy. Not trying to test your patience either. I want to see people succeed here.
