Hello, sir. I discovered your profile today as a result of trying to find some answers to an unexpected, and demoralizing downvote I got today by user @trafalgar. He ReSteemed one of your posts from his profile, and I saw that you have been posting about downvoting, and so figured you are knowledgable on the subject. The issue relates to my weekly series post (most recent on with the massive downvote here) ->

https://steemit.com/steemmonsters/@transcript-junky/steem-monsters-drug-wars-power-strategy-tips-26

Just for the record, I only started using this "upvote feature" provided by @steemmonsters because they actively told all players about it in their official profile posts. In other words, I had NO IDEA that using their upvote feature would create problems for me. Also, the token I use for their upvote feature is their native game-token (DEC - Dark Energy Tokens), and I usually limit myself to 2,000 DEC for each ONLY this one weekly series post. As you can see, my posts in this serious require some serious writing work, and are well-received by readers. Since this all hit me by surprise I am just in the initial stage of trying to figure out if I actually did something "wrong", or if I have been subjected to "whale downvote abuse", or whatever else may be going on. In other words, have no idea how to deal with this. The first step I have taken is to contact @steemmonsters admin, since they are the ones who made me aware of their upvote feature to begin with. Since this is the first of these "large downvotes" I have ever received I would consider simply not using this upvote feature if it means I am going to risk losing a substantial amount of DEC I have earned by playing the SteemMonsters game (like 1-2 days worth of play). So I am making this comment in the hope that you may offer me some advice on some options to better understand this issue, AND to prevent this from happening again so that I don't lose additional Steem/DEC into the future. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks in advance. I've also followed you.
