Is really hard to think how to re-distribute downzaps. We want them to be like a punishment / slap on the face / warning but if we give back the sats to a pool, the same zaps are redistributed to the same user that was downzapped in the first place, even that is in a small portion.

Is really a complicated situation for k00b / SN.

I personally do not downzap too much, I do it more as a personal "mark" of users, with small amounts, only few times with higher amounts. Because I know is kind of useless. Once I mark a user with a downzap, it remain forever for my own judgement. Then before I will interact again with that user, first thing I look into his history and if I see a single downzap, I know with who am I talking too... I have no remorse.

Most of stackers here are zapping without looking into others history... just instinctively zapping... and is a waste.
