RE: Pull Request Submitted - Remove reputation protection from downvoted post hiding
Valid points. As far as high rep users being downvoted, it could in theory be countered with an anti-abuse bot. Also, I would assume that they would have enough SP to counter it themselves if they wanted to (at least in most cases).
I'm not 100% set on the change though, and I think it is a good thing to discuss. Ultimately it will be up to Steemit as to whether or not they accept the PR.
No small fish dares to downvote a whale needlessly or without basis. Don't forget whales have the SP at their side.
The only case that High rep people would be affected is if another high rep or high SP downvoted them. In that case, I would like to think that these downvotes are not baseless!
Thank you for sharing and discussing.
