Correct. No downvotes. A moderation group reviews articles, questions users, and if the article doesn't meet the AAT guidelines, then a mute can be applied to the article. Multiple violations can lead to increasingly longer periods of muting until the mute becomes indefinite.

Actions of muting gets reported to the community on a regular basis as a means of communicating these actions and reaching out to the affected content creators.

I hope it works …. But I see the largest VYB whale already asking for a
hardfork to bring back the Downvote button.

I don't know what to tell you on that example. VYB was coded to not have a DV button. Do you have a link?

This whale is looking for a VYBrainium Hardfork to bring back the downvote button on VYBrainium …

Ah. I understand now. It's his opinion, however, his comment has merit based upon what I've learned. The trick to making VYB work will be community engagement and reporting. It's up to us to make it work. That's MY opinion.

Ok. But I’m not sure what the merit is of adding the downvote button back to VYBrainium …. ? Then why bother ? Just have ProofofBrain

Oh. There’s no merit in adding it to the tribe. It won’t happen in this tribe. Not if trostparadox has anything to say about it. It’s the whole reason why he created VYB. Anyone can create a hard fork and create a different tribe with enough cash. It won’t be trost though. I guarantee it.

I’m so confused. Maybe I will understand some day.

I feel I contributed to this confusion. So, let me try again if you don't mind. I kind of agree with onealfa on the DV topic. However, DVs will NOT be a part of VYB. The concept is new and part of the tribe.

ah shit, I'll get my jacket...lol

Yes, but there are downvotes on hive.

Yes, of course. That's the most important part for me. VYB's policies alone won't work to protect the platform from cross-content creators trying to milk the system or commit fraud.
