Im funny with downvotes. I like the idea but they are being used wrong and as a weapon. I think they should be used to take away rewards from authors that are just shit posting. Someone daily walk actifit 4-5 line and a snapshot post should never get $100. I dont see it as my reward until it pays out. The idea on paper is good but the execution is bad and witness's should have known downvoting would be abused in the same way upvoting is.

It's an interesting topic for sure and if i had to personally pick between either having are not having downvoting, i'd pick not having.
