I must say that I'm a big fan of the nuance in your language. I like the idea with the tokens and the DAO account that reverses the maneuver based on a decision of active peers who either agree or disagree that the content either deserved or did not deserve the downvote. The other solution is an illusion. Even if everyone got a free upvote, the chances of a party powerful enough to reverse it is slim to none. Not to name names here, but seriously including some folks in this discussion is on a par with the whole fox/henhouse thing. Just play their "solution" several steps forward in your head and see if that helps the aggrieved party. Or does it allow swiper the fox to continue doing what they're doing?
