I like the idea of not being able to make money by upvoting your own comments, but I don't like the idea of increasing down vote power. The only place that I've seen down votes used so far is as a troll weapon to shred someone else's account. I've seen that happen to several people on here.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
There is a bias of perception between bad flags and good flags.
The good flags are very rarely talked about because people don't appreciate that some whale downvoting a bigger whale that upvote it's own content increase the reward of everyone else that deserve it more.
Two example from today, who cares really?, the whale who spend SP, who lost a curation opportunity and risk retaliation to flag this self-voting isn't getting any praise whatsoever for their good flag. :

That's very true. I've seen that too. I think we need to do something about that and increasing the downvote power is certainly not gonna help, but only make it worse!
