Honestly is a downvote even needed? And if YES then there is a bigger issue.
If someone is going to come on here and just post garbage but has a ton of steem power to their name who are we to say they can or can't post it ?
The only time I have ever seen downvotes really used was when whales are attacking other people which seems totally unfair.
Why not just leave it as only upvotes. You have the choice to upvote good content but if you don't feel it is worthy well then simply you don't upvote it.
This to me seems like the easiest solution to everything.
Perhaps something else needs to be looked into if we are worried about crap content being upvoted crazy high. Or then again maybe we shouldn't care if they are holding a 300k steem power up ?
Because that would create a pay yourself place and none would share their votes. Honestly people make this suggestion so often and I'm sure it has been pointed out around the discussions you've been involved in, if not you really didn't consider what would happen if there was no risk to self voting?
Idk what you think needs to be looked into, please let us know. Also, nobody is saying you can't post child porn and bid bot it to trending every single day because your a multimillionaire pedophile, we are saying that if you do there's a big risk that it will not be there long, and be buried.

I am pretty sure 90% of steemit is self voting anymore honestly. Remove downvotes and remove self voting. Everything would go to bot upvotes. We been through this battle for the last two years and nothings changed I don't see how it would honestly. Unless bots where removed, self voting was removed so you would be forced to vote others content.
The only effective measure against self-voting is downvoting. If you are right that 90% of steemit self-voting then it is strong evidence that this proposal is needed.
I just wanna say your comments have been golden like usual, thanks for the entertainment reading through this thread.
False. The Huey Long algorithm would limit huge payouts and eliminate the ability of profiteers to extract nominal funds by manipulating rewards.
No it won't, you keep repeating yourself despite the fact that you were pointing out that it won't work and you had nothing to say then, had nothing to say earlier and I knew that you ain't got shit to say now, but do keep repeating your nonsense as if it's true, it sure as shit ain't fooling me.

Remove self votes means people will vote through alts. Literally you must be so lost in the sauce to not understand what has been repeated to no end in response to such nonsensical suggestions that I find it hard to believe you bothered to consider even slightly. What a waste of time.

O no, the bah fucyou is very bah fucyou.
Dude, honestly, is this the first time you made that dumb, dumb suggestion or been involved in a conversation where someone made that dumb dumb, unexamined, suggestion? Yeah, I consider it a waste of time especially seeing that you're at 70 some rep.

IF we could make the change to a Huey Long algorithm that prevented huge extractions of Steem by financially manipulating rewards, bidbots and self voters would find new businesses. I have proposed dividends from funding development of SPS proposals. However, spam and plagiarism would still remain, and flags would be able to continue to solve those problems - as they do now.
You awful broken record, come to me, I'll fix you right up.
If you put limits on how much a post is rewarded then you ruin the incentive people will have to join if they see a post that is rewarded a lot. Not only that, you encourage everyone to spam and split their stake into alts, and, guess what. Betcha my bottom dollar you didn't see it coming:
it solved nothing.
Poor broken record.
