Why would you need motivation for downvoting? Each dapp can have their own rules for their community alongside with their SMTs. If someone disregards the TOS you can exempt them from earning SMTs. It incentivizes good behavior. The people running the dapp are basically mods for their dapp. You need some sort of centralization to keep bad actors in check. Steemit.com is and should be a place where anything goes no holds barred. But as you can see you can't really do anything if someone goes wild in that system. Flagging doesn't help at all. Still it's nice to have a place like that existing for people who crave absolute freedom.
So how can Steem ever hold value when people move from one community to their little segregated groups, thus leaving the pie for all the rats, because you seem to think that by giving the rats exactly what they want that it's going to be a nice thing, because "absolute freedom" yet I don't think it can sustain the abuse or it's value and there's little room for "absolute freedom" in community, ultimately who will value the innumerable shitcoins that each could be printed at will, while the asset backing the whole system is plundered, because it seems the problem isn't going to be addressed and those that flock to their separate corners won't have anyone else but themselves to "valuate" those tokens.
I'm giving up, I'm sorry, I don't know how else I can make you understand. I hope someone else will come along who can explain things better than I can.
If flagging doesn't help now, and it won't help any more in the future, how does abuse get checked, least kept from becoming so prevalent in an endless consortium of rats clamoring for the ever diminishing value of steem?
