RE: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Let's all step back and figure out what can be done to stop LOSING STEEM USERS
Something needs to change, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
2 things that can be done:
- Mute should completely ban the muted user from the blog disallowing everything - comments, downvotes, upvotes. If someone out there has a grudge against any of us - we should be able to block that person from harmning us.
- Power of the downvote should be limited to the maximum voting power of the person being downvoted. That way if someone with 850,000 (or with 12,000) steam power downvotes a user who only has 15 - the downvote would be limited to that amount - enough to send a signal that someone out there didn't like the post (or the blog or the blogger himself as a person,) but that won't have the knockout effect when one sees his reputation halved and the post hidden for low rating.
That should prevent the abuse (or most of the abuse) that we currently witness.
One downvote from a whale can cut your reputation in half? How is that safe for new users?
As a new member with no voting power, I feel like I HAVE TO walk on eggshells around here, constantly in fear of a steemit ending downvote. I haven't been here long, but I've been here long enough to have seen people get brigaded right off the platform.
It's hard to believe, but this is how it works. There is a guy with the 12200 steam power and ~45 reputation, just goes and downvotes everything I post. Each such downvote results in a hidden post and a huge dent in my reputation. Since this creep clearly has a grudge against me, even walking on egg shells won't help. (I know that there's an option to disallow votes altogether, but I can't find it.)
Pay that account no mind, it's just trying to get a reaction out of you. Keep going like it doesn't exist, and you'll be fine. Also, I wouldn't decline payout on posts are comments unless you are posting content that you've gotten from elsewhere.
Thank you for your supportive comment and for resteeming my post @yvhobbit
Yours, Piotr
