Do not we all have free downvotes to show disagreements? We powering up and vote, and they powering up and vote. whats they difference? Powering up also serve as the purpose of securing the chain. How the 13 weeks power down is preventing "milking"?

I think one can power down as much as the VP/RC allows at that time. So, you just can't power down after using all your VP. Correct me if I am wrong.

That's incorrect. You can use up all your VP/RC and it won't affect your powerdown time. You may be thinking of delegations: delegated steem can't be powered down.

Yeah. Seems like I did confuse it with delegation. I think we can't use the SP that is being powering down that week. If that is correct then powering up to vote, then power down, doesn't affect much, does it?

We may see a faster turnover respawn rate for abusers, but elimination is not possible given the current tools available anyhow.

Probably should focus some attention to tools too. 😂

What? You don't like whack-a-mole?
