RE: Clarification for some people RE: Flag vs Down Vote
If downvotes are 1/10 of an upvote, then 'abusive' upvotes cannot be countered. This means the whale 'non-voting' experiment couldn't work.

Sadly the whales non-voting experiment should have been done at the code level. The counter acting votes for that experiment should not have been needed.
However, that was what I was hinting at in terms of exploits. If a person could exploit and gain 10 for their exploit and all the person opposing them could counter is 1 then that is still a profit of 9.
Sounds kind of like the Well's Fargo situation... scam billions from people and be fined only a couple hundred million. Nice profit margin, let's do it again.
But by (code) definition there are no abusive upvotes.
There are only upvotes you don't like.
