I just tested if we really start draining our upvote pool after we did 2.5 100% downvotes in one day.

EDIT: From what I have heard and read a week later it is not broken, but I am still pissed about the ability to downvote someone into oblivion if you use all 12.5 downvotes (which will regenerate in 5 days) in just one day.

This is what they told us pre HF 21. I am surprised to find out that the downvote pool is completely broken. It is not working as promised. It seems we can do more than 10 100% downvotes per day without drawing from our upvote pool.

I saw bots doing more than 2.5 100% downvotes per day and decided to try if they are really wasting their voting power on downvotes. Turns out they are not...

I did 3 100% downvotes in a time period of 15min and my voting power stayed exactly the same. This should not be possible.

The downvote power we can see on steemd.com seems to be accurate. The three 100% downvotes cost me approx. 8% downvote power each (3x8=24). But it should have depleted my downvote power to 0% and reduced my voting power by one 50% vote.

I really don't know why not more people have noticed this yet?

UPDATE: The downvote pool seems to be 25% of the entire upvote pool which equals a lot more downvotes than 2.5 100% downvotes per day. When talking about the hard-fork I only ever read about 2.5 downvotes (1/4 of the upvotes per day that are recharged after 24h) per day. 25% is way too much. We can now do 10 upvotes and 12.5 downvotes per day??? That's ridiculous. I am not yet sure that it really recharges 12.5 downvotes in a day, but we can do 12.5 downvotes in a day!
