Hey @greer184 thanks for both of your replies.
The other one makes perfect sense to me.
With regard to this reply,
Things are not always how the seem. The reward pool does not work in a linear fashion. That is why I want to know the daily percentage of down vote compared to the total reward pool.
If I am right and the flagging wars are motivated by greed it would be a relatively easy fix. But that fix needs to be arrived at through an open democratic system not decided by he who holds the most Steem.
Would you be opposed to people looking at the historical data and looking for correlations between rule changes and down vote percentages?
