1/ I'm not defending the downvoting thing. What I remember of pro downvote users is that it's to ensure quality of posts and to prevent posts from being "over rewarded" to make distribution more fair.

2/ In terms of quality, the Hive Police do enforce against plagiarism and people who post "too often". As for being over-rewarded, I've seen downvotes for that. But I don't know what objective measure defines "over-rewarded".
3/ So, I think it's possible that the Hive Police aren't specifically targeting ALL leo voter upvotes, only those that rise above a certain level. It may be more tied to HP rewards than LP rewards.
4/ I think what makes the Hive Police most frustrating is that they don't engage. No explanation. No clear guidelines. This lends itself to rampant speculation about what they're doing and their motives.
Downvoting was created to stop the value extracting abuse by certain users such as haijen.
It is a necessary check and balance.
Unfortunately whales have their own opinions and can act independently.
