RE: Guardian of the steem universe : A different perspective on the role of whales within steem ecosystem [ part 2]

in #steem • 8 years ago

It is very easy to spot uncommon behaviour on a public blockchain, and most of the work would be done by bots.
Whales could upvote sockpuppets with the current set up, why aren't they doing it? They would be detected easily.

    Well, yes, because there's just a few dozens whales around it would be rather easy to spot it and counterflag, but not with many thousends of users. Bots would be no help because there's nothing uncommon by someone upvoting the same bunch of accounts day by day. In fact any SteemVoter user is doing it right now.

      Like I mentionned in the proposal, a report button could help moderators find shill overpaid content.
      But I really don't think it's going to be necessary, moderators could use all sort of filters to narrow down list of users who could potentially abuse the system, then they will only have to monitor only a small part of the network.
