Sorry Tim, I respect you greatly.  He didn't let the other whales decide.  He decided.

There was a lot of conversation in private slack and other channels with the other whales. Not everyone was contacted though, which is an issue. There are a lot more whales involved than just @abit though. [Edit] I am not 100% sure on this, but I believe more than 50% of the whales are participating.

Are Smooth, Bernie, and his alt accounts also doing this? I'm seeing multiple downvoted posts that are an hour or so old that have yet to have a whale vote. (Other than whale bots(?) voting at very low percentages. i.e., created, wang, summon, etc.)

Nesting limit...lol
If so, these downvoted posts are getting 5 votes at -3% when they haven't even accumulated a $1 payout...this is going to start affecting people's rep scores if it isn't fixed.

I'm all good with tests, but there was clearly *zero* communication within the "testers" community.

I agree communication was an issue. That's why I created this post.

Are there examples of posts getting flagged below zero? It was my understanding that they were trying to make sure that the downvotes did not affect rep scores.

*Below* zero? Nope, not *yet*. Haha

Like I said, I'm totally down with this experiment and I fully understand the "whys" and "hows"...just wish there would have been better communication between the whales and the community. A lot of people are bummed because it was sudden and unexpected - add that to the fact that a few of them finally had decent payouts and it can cause a bit of a disruption in the force. Lol

Agreed 100% that the communication was bad. Hoping my post will help :)

As long as the payouts do not go below zero, then it will not hurt the user's rep score.
