<h2>On the Eleventh of August, the year of Season 6 of Game of Thrones, 2016, I hereby declare how I will vote:</h2>
<ul>
  <li>I will upvote posts and/or people I like.</li>
</ul>
<p><br /></p>
<ul>
  <li>I will downvote the posts I find to be:
    <ul>
      <li>Spam</li>
      <li>Plagurization</li>
      <li>Consistent hashtag spam</li>
      <li>Stalking</li>
      <li>Harassing</li>
      <li>Hateful, rage-fueled non-sense</li>
      <li>A net negative to our investment, Steemit</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
<p><br /></p>
<ul>
  <li>I will not downvote posts and/or people that I disagree with
    <ul>
      <li>I may even upvote posts I disagree with, because I respect the work put into it.</li>
      <li>I may even upvote content that lacked a lot of work, simply because I respect the creator and know their potential.</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
<p><br /></p>
<ul>
  <li>I will likely ignore and mute users that I see abusing their down votes.
    <ul>
      <li>I will not downvote their posts as retaliation.</li>
      <li>I will not judge people on a small sample, either.  This is a new platform, and we are all working hard to see it succeed.</li>
      <li>If someone consistently downvotes a content creator because they dislike them or disagree with them, then I feel they aren't doing what's best for this site, and I don't want any part of that.</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
<p><br /></p>
<p>I want to see a diverse array of people use this site and not feel compelled to act a certain way in order to get upvotes or avoid downvotes.  </p>
<p>I want to see civil discussion and open-mindedness, to go along with discovery and growth for each of us individually.  </p>
<p>I feel that the way in which I will vote here on Steemit, will be a value-add approach for all of us.</p>
