Greetings friend @oluwoleolaide.

I have also been a victim of downvotes.

Surprisingly for me I found posts written by witnesses of the chain where they claim that downvotes are beneficial to the community. Many declare that those pennies do not belong to us until the day when the payout is fulfilled, therefore we should not feel that they are "taking away" or "stealing" something from us.

I particularly think that this downvote process should be reformulated, perhaps by adding an option to "justify your flag" or something like that. At least to know what the punisher thought when he cast his negative vote.

I hope this won't chase all Active users away if nothing is done to this barbarous act.

I also have that same hope.

All best, Piotr.
