RE: Witness and STEEMIT must solve the problem of abusing.
There is no abuse on Steem if looked at through the eyes of a DPOS system.
The only way if there is abuse is if you look at it as a proof-of-brain blogging platform.
Proof-Of-Brain is a fantasy that does not exist.
There is no abuse on Steem; everyone with stake is entitled to distribute inflation in any way they see fit.
The current witnesses have agreed with this assessment and claimed to be against downvoting entirely.
This is a non-issue as most of these "abusers" are powering down and exiting.
Steem is much more than a blogging platform,
and users should stop basing all economic policy via the blogging aspect.
Not all STEEM Witness.
I think the Downvote function should be removed. But not now. In order for the Downvote function to be deleted, a system capable of solving abusing and spam is essential.
If there is no function to replace Downvote, I think Downvote is necessary.

Any ideas for this system?
I actually came up with a system like that soon after I arrived here in 2017. It involved a panel of randomly selected "judges" triggered by downvotes. If the judges agreed the content was abuse the violator could take the punishment or appeal to a higher court and risk an even worse punishment.
There were three levels of court:

Judges would be paid a small amount of inflation to be incentivized to do the work. There would be no way to power up this reputation with outside influence. The only way to become a whale would be to work as a judge for a really long time.
Dear @edicted
Ehm. So how come old witnesses and many of those who moved to HIVE were saying over and over that downvoting is necessary to fight abuse and reward pool rape?
Either PoF is fantasy or not - reality is that we're witnessing abuse of this chain by many. We may argue about meaning of the world "abuse", however we probably can agree that it's quite obvious what sort of "unwanted behaviours" is @roadofrich refering to.
Indeed, they should stop. However it's not possible to stop, since we're all greatly affected (including you).
Yours, Piotr
Because they are wrong? Because they read the whitepaper and believed all the marketing nonsense about proof-of-brain and "wisdom of the crowd".
I'm not even against downvoting. What I am against is people freaking out and making rash decisions because they want to punish users who are actively exiting the economy anyway. Talk to me again in 2 months.
I appreciate your kind comment. Thx for being so responsive :)
Why 2 months? What will happen then?
all of the powerdowns will complete.
