RE: The Sunday Purge #3: Is Flagging the Solution to Abuse?

in #steem7 years ago

I see a lot of complaints about downvoting or flagging overvalued posts. In the past I've stayed out of the discussion since I firmly believe "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Some of us are rewarded more based on what we do than what we post.

Then came bid-bots & vote-bots. I believe that flagging to remove enough payout to discourage those abusing it is warranted for unoriginal content.

As I told @guiltieparties (which resulted in a literal crap post) in chat I have no problem up-voting 100% original low quality posts or the occasional use of bid bots to up vote it. If it isn't original it shouldn't be getting big payouts.

Exactly, the value is usually subjective, but something has to be done about it. I like that, taking away the rewards generated by bots.

The same thing with the vote-buying, it's good as long as the post is of quality, but that again is subjective. The problem is with the spammers that are putting no effort into their posts and are buying votes just for ROI.
