This post was generated by a beta version of @pibara's Watching The Watchers script.The script is currently (temporarily) running on the @croupierbot account, but will move to its own bot account when the script is more mature.
Steemit gives us the opportunity to upvote and to downvote content.There are multiple good but also multiple bad reasons why someone might want to use the ability to downvote posts or comments.
This post isn't meant to judge downvoters in any way, either positively or negatively, but only to allow everyone an easy way to Watch The Watchers so to speak. To see steemit policing at work.
The script that generated this post monitors downvotes all day and looks up the potential voting weight of the down voter in order to weigh the votes. Currently the script does not account for voting power out of performance and script-lag considerations. Possibly future versions of this script may attempt to account for active voting power as well, but we can't make any prommises.
The below lists show the top accounts involved in high powered down voted on both sides of the downvoting process.Numbers displayed are normalized to a single vote by an account with 1 MVEST worth of active Voting Weight (MVVW) and only entries with at least 20 MVVW are displayed.

Hi @skypilot, sory for the late reply. I've looked into it, and I see a large number of downvotes at 100% by you for posts by @sacha on this date.

ahhh ok that makes sense...did not mean to use it like that. I only flagged him because he was accusing me of spamming

If you use the steemit web interface, downvoting is misrepresented by the 'flag' option. Basically, a FLAG used like that equates a minus hundred percent upvote. So when your upvote is worth $1.-, next to any effects on post visibility, the flag will also negatively affect the eventual payout as if you did a negative upvote of $1,-. Know that the Watching The Watchers script is not meant to judge downvoting behavior, just to make it more visible so that others here can see the policing by predominantly dolphins and whales. I have updated the script now to have a threshold of 50 MVVW now instead of 20 in an attempt to excempt (most) minnow actions. This means at your current 4.89M VEST, you would need to do more than ten downvotes at 100% within the 24 hour monitoring window before the script includes you again as downvoter.
I hope the above clarifies things a bit.
