RE: What is appropriate use of upvote bots? A survey. - My response

in #community7 years ago

well, it doesn't cost me very much to flag, and I do when I see things that I can effect. The issue is for users with a large stake, who could get as much as 20sbd in curation, they have to give that up in order to flag, and those are the users who can really make a difference, but end up responding with spammy selfvoting as a result.

Sort:  

I think that reinforces the point though. If they can't be trusted with their stake not to spam, I don't think they can be trusted to flag responsibly either with an entirely separate pool.

I think the issue is they feel they are missing out on curation, and are trying to make up for it. I think if there was a separate flagging pool we might see a lot more flagging to a positive effect.
