1. So lets say even if an actor is trying to bring down a 'normal/good' post by staking token against it, it is eventually the one staking the token who will loose. The jury members will be there to ensure that.

2. Karma component will only kick in, once the user has been identified as a bad actor by a jury. So you will never be able to bring bot accounts and just mass downvote. Good to know, I guess :)

There's a "jury" too?

A decentralized system that depends on a central source of authority? Who are the jury members? How are they selected, and by whom? How are they held accountable for their actions? How are their biases accounted for? How do we know they're not in collusion with the mods or other users?

So my downvotes don't count when the jury likes the person I'm voting against?
