Downvoting is still a sticky business here on Hive. When I was a newbie user I thought it was a good idea to follow a downvote trail, and I almost ended up in a Downvote War against a huge user because he was downvoting everything from everyone who downvote him.
Luckily I talked my way out of it, but nonetheless it was very scary, especially for a new user with almost no experience on Hive.
Never downvote anyone again. LOL
