Yes. Exactly. It is very disturbing. I am thinking it may be worth resurrecting the two rewards pool idea. One for comments, one for posts. If comments for example were 20% of the total reward pool (maybe less even) and posts were 80% then at least there would be a stop gap/firewall to stop this illness from doing more than 20% damage.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I didn't say it would stop that. It would limit it though so it couldn't spill over to stealing and draining the rest of the pool for posts.
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.
