That sounds like a simple change that could be a good start on communities. Not sure that that would be a completely awesome and amazing implementation of Communities, that would cause platform growth to be 2X or 4X or 8X current predictions. But it would be a simple start.
I'm always in favor of lots of small continuous changes, as fast as possible, to experiment and find what works and what doesn't; and keep evolving quickly.
Unfortunately no evidence that this is the philosophy of developments and HFs for Steemit.com
STEEM On!!
