RE: @freezepeach: The Flag Abuse Neutralizer
I'm torn, tbh. I get the frustration, and the appeal of this solution, but I worry that we're devaluing SP, particularly after hf19.
Any move toward equality between the haves and the have-nots makes being the former less desirable.
SP gives me scope to up or downvote without permission. If there are a new list of reasons for which I can't effectively downvote, then maybe SP isn't worth keeping so much.
You are allowed to downvote anything you wish. That feature is available for all users on every post and comment. However, you may also find that your downvote gets cancelled out by others who are not of the same opinion as you.
True, but not germane.
Imagine the flipside.
Imagine a service set up to downvote posts which have been upvoted for the wrong reasons.
Would this not hurt the use case for steem power?
If you are selling a block of land, you get a better price if it doesn't contain patches of thorns ready to frustrate a prospective buyer's plans.
