I do understand. I really didn't figure you'd have a problem with it. This is just an instance of not reading posts causes an issue in general and why I'd LOVE to see voters pay more attention, especially since we have so much more of a say. I do want to add I honestly don't think that poster was intending to do anything but give your powerup challenge more exposure, even though a resteem really would have done that job imo.

My bigger point from needing to include the specifics was that I had seen it yesterday, but didn't want to downvote it myself due to the recent stigma of doing so. The more I thought about it, the more it bothered me that I didn't take that action.

But i can agree sometimes some posts have to be down voted by people who feel the post just wasn't that good. They also shouldn't be ostracized for it.
I totally agree! And more often than not, just not voting at all would be quite sufficient in my eyes. Outside abuse, flags really are only used due to 'disagreement of rewards.' In fact I found myself i the last hour or two applying flag due to this for the first time. Even though I liked the content, I just felt it was necessary. But I did leave a comment complimenting the work and stating my reason for the downvote. No ostracizing. There are ways to disagree amicably in my eyes.

Thank you for reading! :D
