RE: The downvote pool seems to not be working as promised
That's not how it is designed. You get a new set of voting mana
If you check out your account on steemd.com/@yourname
You will see if you vote more than 2.5 times, it just runs down your downvotes for the next days. If you use roughly 20% a day it will regenerate. If you use more than that it will take longer to regenerate
I see that now, but it also means that you can do 12.5 downvotes in one day to destroy an account. Yeah sure, you use the downvotes of the next days, but this is very bad in my opinion. And I think the communication was different.
I think what was stated is that you get 2.5 free votes a day. (that's how the regeneration works.)
Pretty sure it is working as designed.
Destroy an account seems like a dramatic way to put it, while you could downvote 12 times on one account you would have nothing left in the next days, meaning the account wouldn't be destroyed at all. Rather it would have to have enough open items to have rewards on 12 posts or comments to remove. Once that hit was over there wouldn't be much more the overly zealous downvoter could do.
He could still use his voting power to downvote even more...
I am really not sure that it was communicated as only 2.5 regeneration rate. I think (and probably a lot of others too) thought it would be limited to 2.5 free downvotes per day.
My point isn't to say whether or not it is well designed or not.
Was just saying I think it is working as designed.
