If I see value in Steem as an investor, it would be important to me to be able to play a role in protecting the reward pool via downvotes, because I could better defend my investment from pointless dilution via spam post.
I really hope people are on board with this logic. Not downvoting 'because that's not what I do' isn't good enough for me. Many people have been taking a sh1t in their own office for too long and it's up to the whole community to take part in the cleaning operation.
Wanna start a downvoting guild for people who don't use their downvoting mana? :3
I'm hoping @steemflagrewards will tweak what they have in place so that people optionally can sign up there and have their 2.5 freebies used each day.
A guild would be good if managed by some of the higher stakeholders i think, but I'll support/promote it for sure - taraz, boom, michaelb, flipstar, are all 30k+ accounts who have been open to getting their flag on thus far.
