I would not be against a down vote if it was used for just spam bots , but that is not the case whales are using it to down vote content they don't like. There has to be a different and more fair way. Would you be angry if I was a whale and I came and down voted your stuff just because I don't like it and it took you 4 hours to write the article and 300 people love it but my vote took all your money because I did not like it. There is a difference between spam and just down voting because you don't like something.
Do you have a link to it? I'd like to see it, but I'm definitely not going to just go combing through all of @dantheman's votes to find the single one you're talking about.
You don't have to comb through anything all you have to do is click on the link I provided and click the little arrow beside the votes and you can see he down voted it.
@biophil"Would you prefer that we have no way to downvote spambots?"
You took the words right out of my mouth. People have been begging for a down vote option on Facebook since its inception to no avail. Some people here need the power to moderate content with a single click or the Steemit economy would be gamed to death and crash over night.

Then how do you program Steem to know the difference between spam-downvoting and spite-downvoting?
You say that whales are downvoting stuff they don't like - I haven't seen that happen. Can you point to an example of it?
I am not a programmer never claimed to be , but here is just one instance that a whale downvoted something they did not like just look at the votes and see @dantheman downvoted it but all the other whales upvoted it. I know this post made a lot but this is just an example there are others. I have seen it over and over. maybe your just not paying attention. Just want you to know I'm not trying to be a dick just telling what I see. https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@brendazambrano/hi-i-am-the-first-playmate-with-more-than-a-million-followers-to-blog-on-steemit

Ah, sorry - for some reason the link wasn't showing up before. That's interesting - I wonder why he downvoted it.
