Thanks for the ping, Sir Bacon! I am aware of this ongoing problem with stakeholders who seem to not care about the impression we leave on users or the value of their stake. I think this is an issue that needs addressing. I worry that HIVE will earn a terrible reputation and ultimately cause users to move to platforms like BLURTworld, which are more resistant to reward deallocation. I have a possible suggestion if you're interested. I see that your last nine posts got zeroed out. Perhaps, after a post of yours is zeroed-out, it can get diminished into a blurb that points to the full post at another location. I know you post very frequently. And that means that this tactic can eventually lead to thousands of backlinks pointing to a friendlier place where sociopathic and abusive downvoting doesn't disspirit content creators. FYI, there are ongoing projects in the works meant to shed light on the abusive downvoting.

Consider this post HIVED! to add to the awareness of your present plight!
