Thanks for the clarification Crimmy :)
Anything that gets people thinking about curating again, or trying out new behaviors, or even just making the idea of downvoting a little bit more normalized is a win
Amen to that!
If the EIP goes with 2 or 3 'free' flags for Steem, are you guys likely to match what is decided there?
Thanks for the replies to fullcoverbetting above too, pretty cool that you have policies in place for the mods. Go PAL go! :D
Honestly not sure, but I doubt it. Any changes we make (and there will absolutely be some, it's like a daily data collection thing these days, lol) will be based on the PAL ecosystem and Steem is gonna steem. With trending and promoted potentially looking better and with a portion of earning tokens able to be done without "on-chain action" per-se, downvotes are important but may also be not as necessary. Orrrrr I could be hugely wrong and we decouple them from SP (which is a potential for PAL in general, code and evolution dependent) and give many. We have guiding goals, but we're open to the best ways we can figure out to get there, and that doesn't mean lockstep with Steem.
Alright :)
I have a feeling that DV's might not be as necessary, but your daily data collection will likely show this.
It certainly doesn't :)
