RE: Some Whales are Abusing their Power with Downvotes
I have already explained to @miketr that it is nothing personal.

I am just convinced that faucet's and lotto posts that are organized from new accounts are dangerous for steemit in general! Because nobody can assure you that scammers are not behind it.I don't say that miketr is one! Just that successful faucet’s from new accounts would certainly invite them! After all we have practically a official faucet running that gives minimum $3 of Steem Power. If the shareholders decide it is too small or too high they will change it accordingly. My intentions are to protect the steemit holders wealth. As said I have nothing personal with @miketr and will keep an eye on him to upvote his good content, I just think the faucet-lotto posts will harm more steemit than make good for it...
PS plus I don't liked @miketr asking for 10% fee for his SBD transfers ... (seemed kinda weird that the "earned" Steem Power was not enough to pay him for his "work")
So because this system has you millions of credit then it allows you to be judge and jury on people. When you get millions of Steem power, does it come with a badge and a made up law book.
There is nothing wrong with his idea to create a faucet with Steemit. It's better here then outside with some of these questionable faucet/dice companies. I get the admin2017 guy spamming other's people's comments but even then the spambots were catching him left and right.
At least with Miketr running it here then he has to be transparent and it's work for him running such things. So those that want to participate just agree to the terms. If you don't want to join in then don't. But to take a dump on all his posts and downvote.
I disagree these things hurt the community. Games and creative ways to pull people are in are needed. I've seen a number of people offer things in trade for votes and comments. Some I did and some I thought were a joke. But I didn't poo poo on their ideas by down voting. I think it should be reserved and limited to those that real are not adding anything to this community.
If I see a potential danger for theft on a post I step in. Because if a scammer takes away for example $1000 from the system, he takes it from the shareholders of steem, he takes it from all SP holders... and not only from the participants on a post that "agreed" with the terms....
Again everything is transparent within the system and you are judging someone is up to something bad eventhough he'd proved himself in 3 rounds.
If someone is found to be abusive then he will come under attack by number of people. But you are making decisions on your own and simply because you have a big digital number in community power, the system gives your opinion over basically everyone else. Sorry it's wrong and you don't speak for the community and you are not the police for the community.
In germany we call it Egoist :-)
no comment
then it will be to late
PS If it would be a verified trusted member I would not downvote (even if I don't agree with these practices) , as said, I see this as an invitation to scammers if it works out... If we had an escrow future in place on our platform I wouldn't mind...
PS2 Sorry I can't trust a 1-2 week old account that are asking for money... when there is even not a introduceyourself post in place with basic id identification...
Yeah - just like I thought. You say "No comment" but obviously you are passing Pre Judging someone by down voting.
Your steam power should not give you the right to pre judge people and take their funds. And until they change it to not allow you guys that just have some millions of digital credits to rule over all irregardless of character then this community is in serious danger of being rules by a master class or sell appointed demigods.
Ruling on high -- "I deem it unfit and so it shall be" --
Your opinion liondani has no weight over mine or anyone else's. It's just this system is giving the false premise that it does. It's pathetic and sad.
