RE: That day I got a downvote and turned into a crazy maniac
Well, I'm glad to know you wouldn't go there. Some whales who also enjoy downvoting, float the doll meme a lot in the various channels. If I misinterpreted what you said, then I sincerely apologize. If you look at the link below, even the internet jumps to that conclusion, so I'm glad you could understand how I did.

I'll shuffle on now, but I do think if we don't want people to engage in shameless self-voting with massive stake. Then Steem ought not offer massive votes as a reward for large stakeholders. Either that or mod out self voting entirely, but keep in mind there is a cause and effect to everything. When or if you are able to successfully eliminate "abuse," you might also find that nobody is willing to invest. Without the investors, bad actors or good, the rewards in the reward pool would be meaningless because there are no buyers to prop up the market value of Steem.
Have a good day Justine,
sorry if I read you wrong there.
Or..
Even better..
Give people the power to counter self voting and "massive votes".
Yeah, because flags are a poor mechanism for dissuading people from self-voting and we know how great your grasp of what work is.
I'm not sure you know what my grasp of work is, weren't you the one trying to sell me on UBI the other month. Is that what work is?
I don't, it was a typo, works.
Okay, well flags are a great way of persuading people to sell. When potential investors spot this commie mentality, they won't invest.
Which people? The idiots like yourself who think that self upvoting is the only reason to invest? The same idiots that didn't consider that downvoting nullifies any such "reason", and who also regard rating negatively as "commie mentality", to your idiot self if you can rate something as not worthy of rewards it makes you a communist because reasons and explanations.
Take a look at the numbers, they don't lie. There's only so many active users left, so yeah just try and normalize negative voting, and reap what you sew. Jack diddly shit.
Sure. Exactly why the whale experiment was a failure right? Those numbers when for two months whales downvoted all whale votes and the community was loving it and the price and engagement reflected that. Or now with the EPI and powering up growing and bidbot/cheating almost nonexistent, numbers don't lie. Rating things negatively is socialism after all.
We've been over this, redistributing rewards is socialism. I'm going to go do something else now. I getting tired of speaking in baby talk.
Nah it’s fine and I understand how it could be taken that way. Maybe it’s a regional phrase used here or something, as it’s pretty common here and don’t believe it’s stemmed from the one you referenced, but hey I could be wrong.
I also think there are whales who enjoy them and use them for revenge, it’s why I mentioned the importance of countering those sorts of downvotes and offered my help in doing so.
I think we have along way to go for Steem to be successful and I agree we have to find a balance. The shared inflation pool always seems to add additional difficulties.
Thanks for your comment and for pointing out some important concerns.
Have a good day.
