What you will then find is that people will vote shit several days later so that they can fly it under the radar. Sweetsssj has done this for years - but she is voting on her alts so gets all the curation plus the reward anyway :D
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Shouldn't behavior like that trigger our abuse mitigation efforts?
only if it is firstly noticed and secondly, cared about.
Yep, some abuse is just gonna continue because those that can do something about it won't.
It's like delegating for profit differs from vote selling how?
Why would you vote shit if you could vote something you really like and get the same rewards for that?
why take 50% when you can take 100%?
They are essentially selfvoting - so they take the reward and the curation - not just the curation.
Ah you were talking about selfvoting... Ok then, makes sense.
take away the penalty and selfvoting will increase. Take away the window completely and the late selfvotes will increase. No matter what changes are made, assume that people are going to try to scam it to maximize themselves, even if it ends up costing them long term.
I know, it´s a tricky issue. But I would still give a shot to flat curation and no window, meaning the only factor influencing the curation rewards of the users would be the size of their stake. That would allow them to curate (other people´s stuff) honestly without having to worry about losing out on rewards. Those last minute (last day) selfvoters could be a problem but we have free downvotes to fight any form of abuse. I know it would be difficult to downvote such a post but you can still downvote the next one as a kind of a retrospective punishment :)
You know how many people downvote on Hive?
I know but still would give this new concept a shot... You never know how new things turn out here on the chain until you try them.
One of the things I plan on trying to solve. We need people using their downvotes more, I know anon downvotes would change that overnight as many fear retaliation, but that isn't easy on a transparent blockchain. A lot of Hive's issues could be solved and we could try much more "risky" approaches in terms of finding innovative cutting edge solutions to issues around PoB, if people simply did more negative curation. There must be balance. I'm confident there is a solution out there somewhere, just have to discover/invent it.
