I'll just join the choir and say that as a redditor, I never stopped upvoting on comments like I used to and I think the reduction is a bad idea for all the other reasons already given, but I understand your reasons for trying and just hope the experiment will go as well as the 12h one - and be reverted in a few weeks :)
This however, is good news, may the gods smile upon you:
as well as adding delegated voting pools and peer-to-peer vote delegation
Yay! They will be weighted, right? Like, I can delegate 10% of my power to a user I trust, 5% to another one and use the rest for myself...?
Excuse the hijacking: have you thought about adding a text field to the database for each user which can be edited indefinitely and be (ab)used as "Profile Page" (à la MySpace) or index ("my best posts"), for example?
//edit: the slider works on steemit.com! I take everything back, leave it at 5. Perfect.
I think this already exists (kinda) in the user metadata
That's so cool! Was just saying. Now that steemshovel.com supports mutlitag search, now that steemstats.com shows me almost everything I wish to see, now that steemit.com has feeds, that was the very last desideratum from my last month's list. From now on, I'll let the devs surprise me :)
