RE: Allow a 100% SP vote: the best voting problem solution.
There is one element that is omitted...downvotes. Allowing accounts to use ALL of the voting power will open the door for a malicious actor to use it in a destructive way. Removing the option to downvote to counter act that opens up the platform for spam attacks.
The proposal was discussed some months ago.
Do you have a link to discussion?
I suppose a 100% power downvote could cause problems. Whales effectively already have this tool at their disposal. This would be extended to dolphins if we allowed 100% downvotes.
Minnows would have a minimal effect on a large post.
You could always maintain a max threshold for downvotes as well if they were really going to be a problem.
This is the link to the discussion that I remember:
