RE: The Downvote Debate : A complex issue in need of a complex solution

in Threespeak3 years ago (edited)

The downvotes helped solve a lot of problems. As soon as we get rid of them there will be mountains of spam and self upvoters coming back.

Perhaps they could cost something and we could vote on certain people (like we vote on witnesses) who receive those funds to pay for their downvoting (and payment for their services) from the dao. Holy shit, you may have inspired an idea that might actually work! I’ve been racking my brain for days on this and that’s the best idea I’ve had. Thanks!

Nah! it won't be that different than now. Downvoting is a lovely passtime for downvoters and flag addicts anyway. So, I suspect we'll be fine and there won't emerge a mountain of anything new if they had to pay to keep up their hobby. :D

Hahahaha, well, I'm glad to at least have served of some inspiration.
