RE: Greywarden > I am currently trying to report the following accounts, and more for runni

So, based on this, the Watchers do indeed consider coordinated upvoting a violation. Unless this has recently changed and i am not aware of it.

I think you misunderstand the part where I'm just asking for myself and NOT serving as a representative for the Watchers which I have no affiliation to or right to speak on their behalf. As for the blacklisted accounts and etc, if you're referring to the Watchers, they are one organization among many organizations that exist on Hive. They can claim to be official on their own but it's up to whoever wants to believe that in a decentralized ecosystem.

How they define abuse is up to them and other communities don't necessarily have to subscribe to what their definition of abuse is. People can make up their own rules like how coordinated upvotes is ok because the system allows it to be. Coordinated downvotes, while it sucks, is still allowed by the system. It's people that define the abuse and if you want to disagree or agree, you're going to accept the decentralization part of the ecosystem.

Don't generalize my participation with downvoting as being part of the system/group/organization, it can at times but not all the time. I downvote content because I don't like it once in a while. There's a lot of content I'd be downvoting here had I have more time to curate on Hive. Doesn't necessarily mean they violated anything, I just don't like the content or it being rewarded, or whatever floats my boat because freedom of expression.

The fact that can be verified is that everyone can collective use their votes for up and down and be coordinated with it. Voting is still an expression of speech.
