You guys are really going to be busy downvoting because I see auto voting going on all day long and pretty much on every post that has a steemian with $$ behind it. I get some of the reasoning but this was a great post possibly his best which makes the downvoters look suspicious of voting with hard feelings instead of objective reasoning. Possibly punish "circle jerking" another way instead of downvoting a great post.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Oh yes, we are very busy :/ That's why there is a trail.
It was the post with the highest rewards, which gives the most back to the community. I doubt that the delegator who submitted it watched the video, I honestly didn't when I checked if it's a valid submission.
What other way would you suggest? It's the one and only tool the blockchain gives.
It seems wrong to downvote quality since that is the main focus you want for our post. Maybe a fine would be more appro pro for voting style that goes against the rules.
A fine? You mean take something out of the wallet? Who should decide on that?
We have upvotes to give rewards, and downvotes to take them. That's how the system works. Of course it's unfortunate when something with quality is shown to have been downvoted. I'd prefer a lot if he got an upvote from curangel instead of a downvote. But for that he would have to stop trading his rewards into regions the majority of users here can only dream of.
It's not that the reward would be really low now. It's still higher than a lot of other good quality stuff. Our goal is not to nullify it.
Maybe if technically possible. Treat it like a parking ticket that must be paid OR ELSE!
I think that would be better than snuffing out someones earned creative reward.
It's not possible as there would be someone who had to decide to give it.
The whole thing is that he didn't earn. First point, he trades votes, so he gets high rewards on everything he makes. And second, nobody has earned anything on here before the 7 days are over and it's paid out. It's intentionally like this, or every vote could be paid to the wallet directly. It's a process where the community decides how big a portion of the pool a post should receive.
An upvote assigns something more to that post, and all other posts get a little bit less.
A downvote assigns a little bit more to all other posts, and that post gets something less.
None of the two is bad, only maybe for some peoples egos.
I think it's because I'm technically challenged that I don't get it but I do appreciate you trying to help me understand.
Maybe the curating person(s) who gave out this type of downvote could also be the person(s) who gives the tickets (fines) instead. Same job different penalty. We're here to create. Vote on that and give out tickets when you find someone "jaywalking".
Well, that way it would be technically possible of course.
But the whole idea behind steem is that the "best" content (evaluated by the whole community) gets the most rewards. The pool is limited, everything someone assigns to himself or his friends or family isn't available for anybody else. The fine could be put in the pool again, but that would give those who have the highest rewards the biggest part of it again.
Seems overly complicated and counterproductive to the goal of the platform. To rank posts by quality, it needs to be possible to take off rewards which then get assigned to everything else.
