Unreal, sorry bud. At this rate HIVE is not going to succeed. Heavy handed approach by a small group of people that will ruin any potential growth in the long term.
You should not be penalized over other's decision to support a content creator rather than post by post, for what? Pennies a day? This is petty and 3rd world!
If there is an issue with "comment voting", and if the "community" actually agrees, then disable it already. Otherwise it is just a self appointed small group of whales imposing their ideology upon others.
Voting mana and regeneration codified fairness, and let people decide how they want to spend it.
A HIVE is a HIVE, personal opinions and ideology are not healthy for an open community - unless this is a closed one then it opens a huge can of worms.
