So why not downvote them now, that way only their reputation is impacted. If you wait until somebody upvotes them and gifts them some currency from the reward pool, now you are taking away something that was given to them, which is harmful and violent.
Technically it’s not gifted until the payout, prior to this point it’s voting on the payout. Most upvotes coming from the spammers are them voting on themselves. But I understand your point. If you’d rather not downvote, I’ll respect your philosophy here. My personal take is we should all be using our downvotes more often to moderate the platform and keep the spammers and bots from over flooding the system.
I agree. We can do that before any payments or upvotes have been made. However, once somebody upvotes them, then we have crossed the line, in my view. Thank you for speaking up though. It is important that we voice our concerns and set the standards upon which we want people to behave. Speaking up and voicing that is an important step.
