RE: The reason

I really think that you are targeting an issue that isn't really there. Downvotes are a part of the system and that's fine that you are using your stake to balance what you see as bad behavior. I think that is no bad thing but in my opinion SBI is a great initiative that people have used to sponsor smaller accounts so that they can receive some small upvotes and encouragement on their posts which can be very tough starting off and seeing zero on all of your posts.

It was put together by a dedicated steemian that has added to STEEM rather than taken from it and i would love if you used your stake to encourage smaller active users rather than drive them away. For me Downvotes should be used for loering reawards of spammers, plagerisers and people that are hurting our community but I can't agree with you thatSBI is responsible for any of those things.

To anybody downvoting Polish users I would also ask you to stop as that is no going to solve anything other than further hurt active users. We have a small community right now and I would love to see us all try to encourage and promote STEEM and it's apps rather than hurt it and attack other people. We need to have long term vision rather than looking one week at a time with our actions. Ask what would add the most value to STEEM over the next year.

If people think that down voting SBI and flags wars are the answer i would say that you are sorely mistaken. If you think that it is to read, comment and upvote active and interesting people on their posts to encourage them to do more then i will join that fight with you.

We all want to earn money and see STEEM succeed so why not act with that purpose in mind and try to grow our users and increase the price of STEEM. More people equals a higher price. More people equals more publicity and more development. Think long term and not about the reward on your latest posts. Do the right things to help the community grow and not drive away it's existing members.
