RE: HF19: Is This What We Want? (Spam Self Vote Galore)

in #spam7 years ago

So if I write reasonably good content, which I can come up with in 20 minutes say, I can post 30 times a day and upvote each of them, would that be ok? No? Then the solution is make another hardfork and return to only 4 posts a day and no upvoting own comments. But wait we had a hardfork because we wanted to be able to post more than 4 times a day, personally I don't see where I can come up with more than 4 a day, but I'm not that creative. See you can't keep everyone satisfied, you just don't like what this guy is doing because he is making a lot of money which we all probably aren't, if I did that with my 27 cents voting power and made 50 posts a day and upvoted myself each time and made a whopping 10 dollars would you be upset? I'm not saying what this guy is doing is cool , but he isn't breaking any rules. Someone said he was going to start flagging him, wouldn't his voting power be of better use upvoting minnows?

I'm new but it seems odd to allow unlimited posts per day. That's just asking for low quality.

Perhaps in the blogging format that is Steemit.com, but the blockchain rules have to apply to the entire chain - which is now currently beginning to host an Instagram type network (Steepshot) and soon will launch a Twitter type service (Zappl). People can tweet many more times a day than they can blog, and any posting limits would be spread across all Steem based sites. If we take it back to 4 a day you could blog once, tweet twice, and post a photo. Not a solution. Plus it's not immune to simply creating multiple accounts and spreading Steem Power among them to continue the abuse. A very open and permissive rule set is fine, people need to start flagging low quality.
