    The downvote should stay. It's one way for the community to sanitize this blockchain.

    Though.

    • I will remove the downvote from whales or anyone with higher stake to avoid the abuse of power (stake).
    • Downvote is voluntarily, so downvote via curation trail should not be allowed.

    My 2 cents.

    I am not a witness, but I find it sad when who is hidden and not visible and is downvoted for over and over again.

    I will be honest, I was tempted to say yes, a witness vote from you means instant top20 for me, after two years of being a backup witness.

    However, I cannot see the positive in no downvotes in our current economics.

    Free downvotes brought also stupid downvote behaviors however we also wiped out a lot of spammers/leechers.

    I agree that some accounts flagging for no reason, I’ve personally tasted some flagging on my posts just because some accounts upvoted me. This is not an optimal situation.

    On the other hand, you have great amount of SP proxied to your account, you can use this SP to shape the distribution in the reward pool. I think this is the the best solution.

    Without downvotes, more and more users would take the route of zero effort to extract as much from the reward pool as they can uncontested.

    Whaleshares removed downvotes and they quickly regretted it when even top witnesses were posting "account preservation posts" just to retain all their voting power instead of participating.

    While it may seem downvotes are violence and they give you shortness of breathe, without them Steem would go to $0 as no one will want to participate.

    Even the Government realizes the need for checks and balances.

    Hell no. In my opinion the only people who want the downvote pool gone are the ones who want to pillage the reward pool.

    Have none of you seen what happened to whaleshares? Give you a hint, they got rid of downvotes. Now it's ded.
