Hello everyone i joined this platform not quite long but i have been very observant about some certain things happening on the platform most especially the factors that have led to the feud currently happening on the platform and the recent downvote wars which is happening between 
I am not scared to express my opinion and i do not care about what the outcome might be but i will rather say the truth and be punished instead of lying and be rewarded for the lies or to massage the ego of those involved.....i might get downvoted for my opinion which i am about to express but i do not care,i stand for the TRUTH and i will always stand by it no matter what.....
Here is what
Disagreement on rewards, is a common practice on DPOS governance that we use to mitigate the lopsided distribution of token. It is stake weighted but 2nd layer tokens are immune to it. So when I wanted to adjust the reward, I can't do it on the 2nd layer (POB) because I do not have any POB stake. So I communicated the problem, and downvoted the posts. Immediately, the posts turned into rants. I mentioned that I do not support rants for rewards and if that continues I will adjust them as I see fit on the hive level, because this is the only level I have any ability to do anything.
Lopsided distribution of rewards on POB continued for months. Complains and hive bashing also continued for months. The tone was identical:
DV was being used as attack
Rewards are being taken away
This is a common item we hear and we try to explain. So I tried to explain in many places, multiple times and to several individuals, who just fails to understand a fundamental concept of DPOS blockchain based on reward pool system:
Now this is my own opinion,
You have NO RIGHTS to mute a user who decides to use HIS OR HER STAKE to downvote any posts or users who he or she feels is been over-rewarded or feels they do not deserve the rewards that his or her posts is getting....
The stake is their voice and their voice should be respected,what happened to freedom of choice??what happened to the concept of decentralization ??the power of this platform should belong to NOBODY but it should belong to EVERYBODY....
I am not in support of the downvote wars occuring on the platform,but as a leader you should resolve conflicts by calling both parties to order instead of making it look like you support a user above the other...be neutral in your decisions and approach to issues....
If anyone sees a plagiarised post,they have the right to downvote it if they want,whether the decision is right or wrong is not the point here,but they have the rights to downvote the post with their stake.......so if
Some people said he is only downvoting him because of envy or jealousy,well that is the beauty of decentralized social media platform,there is freedom of choice...
And why no peace talks with both parties??oh a person have right to downvote others but others have no right to downvote the person??once you downvote the person you inmediately get penalized??lets call a spade a spade.....
What makes decentralization interesting is the fact that power is available for everyone to purchase when they want.....the power do not strictly belong to one single person.....
I am not supporting any of those guys i mentioned but i believe that equity is necessary and any form of dictatorship should be avoided....
Sometimes we make some decisions that we do not know that it could be wrong or harmful but we should welcome criticism and work on those criticism and become a better person and make the platform to become a better place and a platform which is free and fair to ALL......
LET US ALL MAKE PEACE AND COME TOGETHER AND MAKE THE PLATFORM A BETTER PLACE,LET US BE FAIR IN OUR JUDGEMENT AND AVOID BEEN BIASED TOWARDS SOME CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE AND IGNORE SOME OTHER PEOPLE.....LET LOVE AND PEACE LEAD....
P.s you can downvote this post if you disagree with it,it is your stake and you can downvote whatever posts you disagree with.....GOD BLESS US ALL....
