The bot who is spamming downvotes on Hive triggers the #Ecency front-end's low rating warning with 1% or even 0.1% downvotes.
I hope that @ecency prevents that warning for showing up because of downvote spamming, as well as downvote notifications from muted accounts.
@savvyplayer i will report it to ecency to get fixed. You can like your own post to avoid that in the mean while.
Here have some !PIZZA
Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't want to fix a problem (low rating warning) with another problem (self-voting).
Thanks for the !PIZZA.
What's wrong with self-voting?
A Hive user voting their own posts or comments can be seen as some other users as "reward farming", since it is subjective. The same goes with commenting a lot (no matter how good your comments are) that you a Hive user can get accused of "spamming".
Have a !PIZZA.
I will keep in mind next time
Thanks for reading my comment and replying. Have a !PIZZA.
Then why is allowed at all the selfvoting? They allow it then they mark it as bad?!
While self-voting is seen as "reward farming", there are several important uses for it. For example, if you have a comment that is so important (like telling somebody that a link on a comment by a hacked Hive account with very high Reputation is blatant scam), you may upvote your own comment for it to be trending on the comments section and hopefully warn more users. Alternatively, if your post has "Payout Burned" or "Donate to Reward Fund" Reward, you can upvote your own post (if you have lots of Hive Power) for it to have a high position on the Trending posts. 🤓
Have a !PIZZA while reading my long comment! 😁
This is nice to know that. Thank you for the pizza I have only !LUV in my heart and I spread it :D

As long as you're not a whale, self voting isn't really something to worry about. If it's just a few cents or less, no one is going to care. It's when it's $$-$$$+ in rewards that can get you in hot water with people. In other words, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Some of them say that self-voting (even at tiny amounts like 1%) is something you won't do in conventional social media platforms. Some have even produced dapps that count how many times a Hive user has upvoted their own posts and comments.
Thanks for your reply. Have a !PIZZA.
People self vote via bots etc all the time on conventional social media, lol

Done.
We are marked on the #Ecency frontend as "low rating", not "low credit".
Have a !PIZZA for your effort in reporting the issue I found to the Ecency team.
This is an example of why we need to be able to downvote accounts, not just posts. This crazy person just doesn't post with this account and maintains and 25 rating. It's insane how ONE PERSON can make Hive annoying. We have to come up with ways to deal with it.

It looks hard to even imagine how downvoting Hive accounts themselves can help solve this issue, if a spammer can just create multiple accounts and/or Power Up HIVE to also downvote unsuspecting Hive accounts.
Wow this is kinda bad.
That problem has persisted for more than a month.
Thanks for your comment. Have a !PIZZA.
Thank you!
Have a !PIZZA for your appreciation! 😁
