You may have already seen this but @sneak replied to another user's question about a different MAP contest downvote - he sticks by his flag and sees these as low value posts:

Anyway I just wanted to let you know that I am pledging the SBD payout portion of this post to the other 5 contestants in the the MAP27 contest, as this post currently has a higher pending payout than the MAP contest post and my entire intention with posting this was to drum up upvotes for the MAP27 contest, not for myself!
