Ok lots of good comments here thank’s everyone.
Downvoting ... I have been personally attacked by downvoting, and now they propose to give away “free” downvote’s.
This gives away free ammunition so that accounts that are just downvoting everyone can pick up speed and destroy.
How is this improving the blockchain?
If they want to set up downvoting it need to “cost “ the down-voter.
Post’s can be subjective, what I think is good content, someone else may not.
This is just like giving drugs to an addict and saying use these wisely.
If I believe in Steem and I do, it cost me USD to trade......
If you believe a post needs to be downvoted, then pay the mana/voting cost and by all means use it and downvote.
Maybe with Hard Forks there needs to less “packages of improvements “.
Too many changes too quick will just send Steem in a tailspin.
That being said again....I believe in Steem and now PAL....
Maybe PAL will midi gate some of the fallout.🤔

Tell me about the down votes. Lol. The first time I got hit by one I just didn't know what I did to the person, I checked he had a very low reputation below 25 and all he seems to enjoy doing is down voting members post. Lol.
I've had a couple after that and the funny thing is non of the down votes has come someone reasonable, it has always been users below the 25 reputation and even negative reputation sometimes. They don't create contents and if they do it was very long ago.
Why I've never been bothered about them is because their 100% down vote has no effect on me.
I honestly do not know how HF21 improves down voting.
Steem as i've learnt in my time here is a place where you keep learning and you never stop learning.
Thanks for your contribution
Lol I think we were probably down voted by the same person, I won't name... but his reputation was about 25 or less and his voting power was almost zero...
Mehn! I felt real pity for those guys. I was going through their profile and it's like something pissed them off and they just kept hitting at everyone on their path. I noticed if you communicated with them it triggered more joy in them and they hit you the more. I just chose to ignore them.
I think that’s the best way to deal with him just ignore him....
Dear @silvertop
I very much agree with all your points. Especially part related to downvotes. I also don't know how would it improve anything.
Thx for sharing your thoughts with us.
Yours

I just read that Palnet has a “time out “ built into the code. I honestly can’t remember where I read this.
The gist of what they were saying is on palnet if there is an abusive account downvoting ,they could call a time out to stop the abuse.
I need to re-read the white paper and try to understand.
If true, maybe this would slow or stop abusive downvoting. Palnet needs to grow, but they might be on the right track.
