RE: Steemit Update: Leaving "Survive Mode" ... and Beta!
Randomly spamming a post with “bot or moron” is not sharing an opinion. It’s exactly what downvotes are for, trolling.
dissenting voice is a stretch even for you... let’s not jump on the censorship train every time we don’t like something, freedom of speech goes both ways and trolling is an extremely valid use for downvotes.
To further support that @justineh, I think steem did a great job removing flag and adding the downvote button. Flagging etiquette lead to the reward pool being drained by DrugWars battle report and spam, meanwhile we should understand the stake based mechanism which is being reward distribution. If I disagree a photo of a cake is getting 100 USD in reward, I should be able to use my stake to limit (or stop that). That's what consensus based community means.
@acidyo
for those who don't know , downvotes could also be used to increase the vote value of big bid bots . like for example @themarkymark's @buildawhale
