@ismaelrd04: A long time ago,

A long time ago, the initiative to eliminate the option of the negative vote was raised; many people no longer use it.

However, being decentralized, and the fact that Hive has no control over the accounts, makes many abusers want to do whatever they want on the platform.

So, how to control them?

The negative vote.

It is very useful indeed, and it makes these types of individuals stay out of the way.

However, it is also a double-edged sword, especially those who abuse power and have large amounts of Hive Power.

There is no way to control that, people have different opinions and that’s alright. From our experience, we always see more upvotes compare to downvotes, stake of that votes of course indicate how committed they are to the platform.
