I am a big advocate of downvotes to prevent abuse and spam (and reward disagreement) but @pharesim and @ocdb downvotes have become incompetent.
They now have immense power (6-7M SP) with their delegated sp. It’s beyond reward disagreement and abuse fighting, It is them inconsistently deciding who is allowed to earn and how much and using scorch earth tactics to enact their whims.
Hear hear, Mark.
The lack of comments or clarification from them makes it all the more frustrating.
This is the first time I've seen an @ocdb downvote that was clearly over the top. I haven't kept eye on what they've been doing too closely, though. Can you mention some other cases?
My post was downvoted for $32 yesterday because pharesim disagreed with a $7 vote I have no control of. Ocdb is on auto pilot downvoting at pharesim whim without any quality control.
Stop whining, you are getting a lot of steem as a witness and PO, and a lot of curation rewards, and because this is not enough, you still want some sweet SBD from SPS.
Why you're are not declining the rewards? Oh yeah, it's called greed.
But I guess @ocdb weren't incompetent when they upvoted your cards opening videos.
But now they are bad because they devoted you?
That -32 will probably feed 30 accounts. People who actually posted good things and didn't get a thing.
Enjoy the pissing contest,
I’ll be fine, I’m not going anywhere. But users getting their posts nuked below zero because they “got too many rewards” are getting pissed.
Disagree with rewards? Bring the post down to where you think it should be within the ability of your steem power. But to remove all rewards with delegated stake and take a post well below zero is incompetent.
If it was spam, plagiarism, abuse I can see that, but these are legitimate posts they are unleashing $20-$60 downvotes on.
Ocdb voted those videos, these downvotes are just blindly trailing pharesims vote. Ocdb isn’t even bothering manually downvoting anymore.

lol, i get annoyed at some big accounts not bothering to upvote manually.
