I've seen that quoted so often, without it really having a meaning that makes sense to me.
> If you accept the upvote you have to accept the downvote too Its really that simple

No, it is not that simple, not just because  you say it is. Upvoting is a way for us to say to someone, thank you for sharing with us, and we give as we can or as we wish. That is our right - or are you saying we do not have that right? That only a bunch of you with the power and influence have the right? I have tried to see how it is that upvoting can be abuse, but I have not succeeded.

As for downvoting, it can only be of a positive nature when preventing other kinds of abuse, the kinds that are criminal, not the kind that cater to anyone's whims or tastes. Downvoting, unless it can be appealed (not to the downvoter) it becomes a wonderful stick, a whip, to force others into following your wishes.

It also sounds as if you are saying that the advantages of a capitalistic economy are not acceptable here, that it is not  a marketplace where we each get paid according to what we are perceived to have offered in return?  Oh, people can reward us if they want, but if you think they paid too much, you do not make them take back some of the money, nope, you take the money!



So, they are not two sides of the same coin, as you try to make it appear to be and there are more ethical and moral questions in force that you do not seem to be willing to even consider, for then it means you and your friends might have to relax some of the controls you feel you have over us. That is sad.
