RE: Updates to Post Curation and Rewards + A Call for a Community Vote on Content Curation in the FreeCompliments Community

Hello, good evening, first of all, thank you very much for the opportunity to express my opinion on this subject.

My view of Hive is that this type of content should not be supported, I believe that the effort and merit in receiving what you deserve and for originality should always be taken into account. Using some references, but still having the majority of your text be original, with the author writing is the best thing we can encourage.

I believe that the virtual rules (virtual because theoretically the hive has no rules, but it has good customs to guide us) that we must follow, are to avoid at all costs and not support plagiarism, spinning, content created entirely by AI, content with little effort, homophobic or racist attacks, voting schemes, among others.

I think this is the best way to have an active and organic community, truly rewarding those who make the most effort to deliver incredible and original content.

Appreciate your thoughts on this! Just to clarify, since I did try to make the distinction: would you be in support of allowing that type of copy-pasted content to be posted at all, as long as it's not rewarded/curated? As in... breaking these virtual rules would result only in lack of rewards. I'm definitely clear on the curation aspect, haha. 😁

It's a great point you've raised, I think what happens most across Hive leads us to two points:

  • Should the community ban these types of posts at all costs? You could put that as a clear rule, then that ban could be downvotes or silencing both the author with the curation profile, and silencing in the community. That way, people would be discouraged from making such posts.

  • The other point is that you want to see what all the authors have to offer, even if it's something plagiarized or copied and with references, like the case that started it all. You then say fine, you can post whatever you want in my community, but you won't get a vote from the healing account and other members will be discouraged from voting for you.

I see these two points, as we can't ban anyone from a certain community, I think it's impossible to control what the person will want to post or not, so what can be done is to put as rules that this type of post will not be accepted and if the author posts, simply skip it.
