Very well done @heimindanger! The downvote button is specifically designed as a means to disagree with the payout of posts. Unfortunately, most people don't even use it. I have spent some time reading other people's posts and downvoting all the "nice post, follow me" non sense. Now with this, we have an effective solution to evening out the reward pool and allowing good content to flourish.
This is what makes a platform great. We don't just assume that everyone will behave the way we want. Instead, success comes when we work to provide solutions to existing problems instead of waiting for someone else to do all the work.
I will give this a try. I have already started with spam comments, and now I think this is what I need to look into. Decentralization brings on a greater responsibility for the users.
