RE: The Downvote Proposal 👎 A Solution To The Flag Crisis 🚩
That is true, they could. But they very well might not, and that is the case in a lot I'm in SteemCleaners and Feezepeach discords and they get tons of false flags and harassment or whales ruining people for cursing or having NSFW content, which is biased, unfair, and in a way censorship because flags are meant for abuse not for personal values. Like a religious whale can't go around downvoting atheists for example etc. I say can't, but really I mean they shouldn't. There are no actual guidelines aside from the undocumented ones the whales make up when they feel like it. How were these people able to know these imaginary rules. I'm thinking long term here. We are over 1 million users. We do not shine a good light if you have to go through a ton of work to repair your accounts from harassment of "experienced" members who you would otherwise expect guidance from not to be harassed by.
My point is that excepted norms is a part of the human social experience. They will change over time. To make such an evolution natural there will be a need of cleaning up after accounts show inactivity.
The biggest one is likely the held votes in inactive witness accounts. They would be all witnesses marked in red text at the following link....

Such inactive deadwood makes it more difficult for new witnesses to make it to the top 100 let alone the sacred 20.
Discussions should be made to perhaps remove downvotes once the originating account is deemed inactive.
Yeah I said all that in this article or maybe my previous, downvotes, dealing with inactivity, lack of communication amongst others
