I think the split will work against that, first by making it more lucrative to spam posts instead of comments, and then by making comment rewards more susceptible to being drained, possibly discouraging engagement.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Spam posts we already have mechanisms in place to fight. That hasn't been an issue for a long time. Right now we have comment pool draining everything. I view it as a firewall or a stop gap. Everything you are talking about exists now. I don't see it hurting anything but it can limit the bleeding.
Short of that the community needs to withdraw all support, followers, votes, etc from the people that do it. Let them stand alone. If that doesn't work then we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
I believe tying into the steamdb.com database a report to determine those amounts could be found as you are correct I have no idea where that split should actually be. I provided the 20% / 80% only as a hypothetical example.
Yeah I am hoping engagement shifts... So based upon today's models that could work. We could also go closer to my 20% / 80% that I made up out of the air and effectively be doubling the ceiling for comment engagement.
Yeah I always thought we were going to an N curve but it sounds like we went to 4N for some obscure reason.
Note I really don't want a ceiling. I do think having a firewall to protect different types of activities from each other might be worth doing though.
I personally believe curating pays too much. Yet it is that payout that continues to inspire the truly powerful to keep spreading the wealth. Hopefully not just to themselves.
The guy at the bottom of that list was the person I interacted with that I watched obsessively up voting his own comments. I just looked at his account and the top one on the list. They may have stopped... Though they guy I dealt with only has two comments so far of his within the past 4 hours or so that he didn't up vote. So we shall see.
Yeah I do think there are only a few offenders at the moment.
You probably get a kick out of knowing that too as I know you've had some run ins with that person.
