What's the goal of downvoting ?
Isn't the goal to modify behavior ?
Isn't a downvote a penalty ?
Distributing penalties is the role of POLICE (or vigilantes).
If someone owns stake, the reward pool doesn't care if they use that stake to self-vote or to vote for your favorite posts.
The reward pool gets "drained" exactly the same in either case.
I LOVE RULES, I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE RULES ARE.
I ALSO LOVE UNIFORM ENFORCEMENT.
