I would love to see people with negative reputation lose their ability to flag posts, I think that would stop some of the egregious flagging that is going on.
That would make sense! Revoke all voting from accounts with low reputation. Finally we can lose the butthurt blackmailing r4fken who's causing new users to feel unwelcome.
I don't know about that. For me, I don't mute people for their poor character, but would like to have an impact on their reputation despite that. For the people who do damage to the platform I particularly want to see their posts so that I can downvote anything that should be.
Edit: defensive upvote
You got down voted for no apparent reason. This is another abuse of the system.
The reputation system gives to much power to already who has to much power. One downvote by you brought down my reputation from 40 to 9. Seems a little bit to extreme. I deliberatly posted that meme to prove my point.
You deliberately posted it.......
I don't know if you read my post. It proposes badges tied to the tags we use. So if you always post in blockchain/steemit (example) and I always post in writing, my rep is tied to my "field" and your vote hurts my reward without hurting my rep. Would love your eyes on it as I hope to make it a bounty when the system is developed. Thanks for response, know your busy.
Agree the followers can be a good number to use as it is earned. Matter of figuring out to balance the numbers better over time.
i tend to worry it further tightens the reigns of a popular author... I can already vote for articles I am confident will trend without reading them. I don't see how this provides a solution aside from changing the structure.
If I had to mute or unfollow anyone I disagreed with.... I would never have seen them on other posts I agree with.
Seems we all have much to learn on how to balance out these matters with the system in place that we see being lopsided in a few ways.
Yes, the ability for someone to vote without reading a post will impact the success of the platform. Steemit needs quality content, and quality content can only be appraised by human eyes. J.
There needs to be consequences for say a -4 reputation. You cannot have that kind of negative rep and expect to be given the ability to comment or flag others. People need to work for their rewards, and one of the rewards should be the ability to interact with others on a platform that people worked their asses off to create. No one should be able to take that for granted.
I think the current system would work better than that due to bots gaming the follows and mutes.
