Acidyo, as a leader in this community, let's propose that the 'free' downvote pool be lowered from 30% 25% to 10% THIS HARD FORK, and then resume further discussion about the downvotes.
30% 25% was an arbitrary number. And now that we have observed the platform with 30%, I think we should try less.
EDIT: I feel 30% 25% was arbitrary because, even after a lot of discussion, it was a guess.
