But with multiple accounts you can't remove the first vote at all, only add to it or subtract from it with a downvote.
You can remove the first vote at the cost of curation just like the single case, but with the proposed change, the single account will get a sort of benefit by only being charged the delta for an upward adjustment. Hmm.
I believe you are talking about votes which are sequentially previous?
Yes, but I mean distinguishing between
a) account changing vote, say reduction by X rshares
b) different account coming in and downvoting the same amount of rshares
To anyone that has voted before this event, it looks the same.
Under the "set curation weight to last vote" proposal, we could still apply an adjustment penalty on top, for example. And make it so that the curation weight cannot be larger than what it was * penalty. Something like that. Maybe that's too complicated, but probably not much more than curation is already :)
That's not a benefit relative to multiple accounts. With an original vote of A and a new vote of B, the voter is charged for A+B-A. But with two accounts, the first account would vote A and be charged for A, and the second account would vote B-A and be charged for B-A, for a total cost of again A+B-A.
I think it is because I'm coming at it from the perspective that vote changing should not be normalized. There are just too many ways in which it complicates and undermines the sequential nature of voting (where voters act with knowledge of previous votes). IMO vote changing is useful in certain exceptional cases such as mistakes or new information about the content, but mostly people just just take more care in voting without expecting to be able to change it with no or low penalty.
I do agree with not incentivizing account splitting, which calls for penalties being small or zero to the extent they can be circumvented with multiple accounts (as above).
Yeah, I think you're right in that vote changing should not be a normal occurrence. Was just thinking if there is something in between the multi account (keeps CR) and single account change situation (no CR)
And yup I am not sure what I was thinking about in the multi-account scenario above, I was wrong on that point.

I agree on the first point. The advantage that multiaccounting can incrementally increase votes without penalty but single accounts can't is not ideal.
