Agree with you! I would love to see quality content more rewarded. I think you are not the only one who spend hours and hours on posts. I have no idea how much time I put into Steemit, but it is for sure more then 5 hrs per day in average. But then again, Steemit is not about quality content, but about who you know that likes you so much to get their votes all the time. For sure not for all Steemians this works like that, but indeed Trending page is no fun to watch...although this post is getting higher up in Trending page! I never was there :)
The Ethical Committee is to be voted for by the community also the Ethical rules IMHO. So we need a proper voting system first with eg every user the same weighted vote. Then we can vote for the Committee members, and then we can get the rules of the game voted for. Not sure how to progress from here, need some days off grid (this weekend that will happen) and may have some fresh ideas afterwards.
Comment voting, I see more and more MSP, randowhale etc called in for comment voting. And I noticed some users requesting booster gazillion times a day, probably for all their comments the make that day WTF!
Actually I'm trying to spend the minimum time possible writing posts, but even so, I know I spend much time here, I try to reply to all and do some curation. I avoid trending page, but sometimes when picking what's happening on Steemit on my smartphone it loads that trending page and i see...It must be whale bots!
I have an idea, it may b stupid. Comment voting is like stealing the reward pool, right?! So, I think no one likes to be known as a thief...so, what if there were a rank of the most auto-selfing comment voting ?? ;) Time to sleep here (and I'm going to bed late again due to Steemit...need to change that)
That'll be cool tables. Top comment voters, Top 3rd party self-crated voters and so on :) That is part of getting to real transparency. Good idea!
Glad you liked it. I don't know if it's a practical measure as I don't know how to put in practice. Hopefully there is an informatic guy/chic reading this ;)
Steemit is all about transperency, we can see everything (if we want), but that contabilization would reveal who is having "bad/abusive" behaviour!
Agree, and how to put it into practice, well we need indeed some developer. Coming week I'll brainstorm with myself to see how I can take this a step forward. I think we shall start with a couple of like minded people and determine the best steps to take, one by one, and then find the people who can help materialise it further, from SP holders to developers. I know one or two options already for a notice board, but shall become part of the Steemit UI, otherwise it'll be to difficult to reach all Steemians.
