RE: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH @grumpycat
if you remove downvoting you eliminate the ability to remove rewards from spam and plagiarism.
I'm more in favor of having two separate pools, to remove the financial disincentive to downvoting. Give everyone their daily pool of voting power, and thier daily pool of downvoting power. that way people who spend a lot of vp downvoting won't have an easy excuse to make up for lost rewards by selfvoting bullshit
Agreed.
unfortunately, you can't have it both ways. Maybe a downvote should require 5 people or something like that. That way you could still get rid of spam but not allow one person to selfishly downvote people for no good reason.
So it wastes 5 peoples vp to counter one person's vote? That doesn't sound like it will get rid of spam, that sounds like it will take 5x the voting power to fight spam.
Most of the times I don't agree with these crusades. One person's spam may not be another's Steemit needs to be open and welcoming, not like a bunch of condo Nazis.
