RE: [Poll] Your Opinions on Hardfork 17 Features
The main justification for it is that the current model works well for 'blogging' but it is not very well suited for twitter type content. The idea is to put the burden of allocating rewards properly on the community / voters. In theory, if someone is posting a lot of crap posts and getting constantly upvoted - users should be able to detect that and downvote.
@timcliff the downvote can do so only those who have a higher level ... if so can not be said that, in theory, everyone can settle the question .. ..
That is not completely accurate. A downvote affects the post payout based solely on SP. It only affects the reputation though if the person has a higher reputation.
