RE: Helsing: Governance Ideas (Good/Bad whales needed)
well account A cannot affect the reputation of account B if account B has a higher reputation than account A.
So if it has the support of enough whales that upvote it high enough, that won't be an issue.
Posting, getting upvotes, and also giving upvotes, is out of the scope of this project. A downvote most always feels unjustified to the one receiving it.
If you really feel mistreated, bring it to the attention of the community. People in steem.chat #general or #steemitabuse are usually very helpful in these rare cases where your reputation got ruined for no real reason.
I'm not talking about personal experience, but I've seen it a lot in the whale wars. People commenting have been indiscriminately downvoted - like a guilt by association kind of thing - and I think it's been happening on both sides.
It has the potential to become a bigger issue as more players come into the game.
Hopefully helsing will help to calm all that down a bit.
If you get involved in a "flag war" as a bystander, it can happen that your reputation goes down. I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing, as long as the account isn't nuked completely. I don't have an overview how often that happens, all cases I saw were solved by the community.
However, helsing is not intended to bring life. That would need an account optimized for reputation, something he won't care about.
