From what I have read and seen in a few post it seems that the Koreans are not adverse to down votes at all, they agree with down votes when it is part of the reasons specified to down vote such as plagiarism, scam and abuse. I think it is more likely they are like many that do not tolerate the random down vote with *not explanation, such as the 15 SP down vote army bots hand out, even if the down votes are meaningless in the eyes of those that have large amounts of SP. It is the *thought that counts to them, and to many people like myself.
If someone were to offer to them a solution such as I and many others have proposed to a check box and an auto comment from the down voter as to why, then they may be willing to start to talk about the over-all perceived idea that the Koreans are against all down votes and want a free reign.

Those 15SP account downvotes are meaningless. I get plenty and just ignore them. I assume they have delegation from Steemit who could take it away if they cared. People should complain to them about it.
I'm just going by what I have heard. There isn't time to keep up with what everyone is doing, but thanks for the update.
They are against economic retaliation for bidbot misuse, vote trading and selling.
They said it in their proposal.
They may be persuaded to remove free downvotes, but we already went through that and it sucked.
Minimum SP and rep, for downvoting, increased RC requirement, an an active post or comment would be good. I also think enabling captchas for comments (or increase RC to avoid) is another idea to reduce spam.
