Reward those voting early more than those voting late at the cost of late voters. Same but add a 5min penalty window. Add quadratic increase to rewards when voting early, etc, etc, until we landed back to what we currently have, linear rewards based on post age.
So now voting first is better than voting later, right? There's no more 5 min penalty? I know that this is not the main topic of the post, but I never really understood if there are (or not) some hidden rules I don't know when curating 😅
Btw, the idea of rewarding reblogs is very cool, as it incentivizes interaction between users (which is something that often is lacking here on Hive), but I think that to make the system more fair it should also be taken into account how much active are the followers of the reblogger: there are plenty of users with thousands of followers most of which aren't anymore active (even if sometimes they keep upvoting through curation trail), but these inactive followers shouldn't be considered, as they aren't really bringing any more views/upvotes/engagement to the reblogged author.
Not sure if adding a criteria like this is feasible, though!
good point! yeah the total hp of followers could only count if they've been active the last year or so similar to governance votes.
currently curation is linear, doesn't matter when you vote unless you vote after 24h.
Thanks!
To determine if an account counts as active or not, I feel only posts and comments should be taken into consideration: upvotes can easily be misleading due to curation trails, which (at least as far as I know) stay active forever (which is something very bad imho, because they can be easily abused if the upvoter stop checking what people are publishing and forget to deactivate the curation trail... but this is a completely different topic! 😅)
Yeah if the abuse becomes excessive there's always downvotes to help deter it.
