Hi @p-sycophant
Yes i understand your points and would much prefer to spend my time seeking good content to support over finding blatant abuse.
In theory, a downvote raises the value of ever other reward that is pending payout. Solid content can be missed, but reducing rewards on abuse is kind of like an upvote to everything else, and this could be really noticeable if a lot of pending reward was removed from undeserving content.
I hope that 'mob tactics' don't come into play, i guess part of it is that the larger accounts are somewhat in tune with what is unacceptable, and that everyone should try to avoid taking without adding value.
It makes more sense to me to have a cleaning service (as proposed) that can downvote on posts in a transparent way.
I believe this is coming, but as it is not here just yet and rewards are already leaking out to blatant abuse, I don't think we should sit by and watch. I expect a Discord channel or a daily report will appear soon enough.
Thanks for your input,
Asher
