You cannot negate the negative psychological effect of a downvote.

Yeah we can, it's called grow up.

People and code aren't perfect and I am tired of getting scammed and liquidated.

If we do not downvote, there is zero reason to be here.

I'm not about to normalize malicious and irresponsible curation habits.

posts are open for 7 days, users can upvote or downvote at will using the limits their stake gives them. They all have their own ideas of what will and will not add value and some of them are going to troll.

I can not support people who do not accept curation. Look at trending, look at the price, look at our 75th ranking.

If we want people to curate and fight abuse that means that some will use it poorly. If we do not begin to try curation I see no further reason to hold STEEM or engage on the blockchain.

Yep, someone took a couple of pennies, that is the price of being able to post on Steem.

So you see no value in attempting to promote responsible curation habits?

I'm not concerned about losing a few DOLLARS, not pennies. Pennies add up. Those pennies can't add up for the people who are doing the exact opposite of abuse though, if someone comes and takes them away, for no reason. I'm fine with downvotes when they're used responsibly, same with upvotes. I can't say I'm comfortable with being thrown into 'got downvoted, lost a few pennies, now whining about it about' pile when CLEARLY that's not what's happening here. If you're not able to see the difference, what, exactly, do you know about curation?

There is a huge difference between promoting responsible curation and having a fit because you got flagged for a penny.

Love your work enjoy your position I'm done talking about this.

IMO you are over reacting, setting a bad example and giving a troll attention.

I'll be back by when you move on to a new topic.

Yeah well, sometimes I overreact and set bad examples.
