Hey good points @pibara.

Is there any top-off to downvoting?

Bids can be opposed both on the positive side and on the negative side. The bot calculates and compares the amount of positive bids and negative bids against a post.

Positive bids have a max amount of 150 STEEM / SBD.

Negative bids (flags) have a max amount of 25 STEEM / SBD.

The max amount is way lower for flags to mitigate possible abuses.

If it also allows anonymous destruction of reputation, not cool at all.

The bot implements a whitelist and two blacklists. One shared blacklist which is a combination of all the blacklists out there and a custom one.

If by any chance the flagging system is abused, it will result in a permanent ban and all the credits lost as covered in our TOS.

While the blacklist is proved to be not the best way to prevent any abuse, it is for sure a way to mitigate that. On top of that we have the whitelist, which is an additional strategy against abuses.

There must be a balance between incentives for flagging and incentives for upvoting. We are bringing that to the table. Several iterations will be done to keep improving the system based on users behaviours.
