RE: Warning to vote buyer/sellers! - Introducing GrumpyCompliance, mandatory in 14 days. (No more post-promotion allowed past 3.5 days)

in #steem7 years ago

You are completely right. I think they should be banned, i´m new in Steemit, but I think than the selling of votes fuck this up totally, the staff should evaluate the posts and users, then ban anyone who tries to sell or buy votes...

Sort:  

so you want a small group of people to have the exclusive right to decide whats right and whats wrong, whats valuable and what is worthless?i think the control you are shouting for goes against the very idea of freedom!

that is not what i read? I think it means that votes come from readers and not bots doing it for you. And that would be fantastic only people do not read, or read to little. And upvoting you an do like 10 times a day until your power is finished. I am guilty I did pay to get post upvoted, and I also abused the system for voting my self up, like many. We do not know how long steem will work so it is the case to make it worth in a short time therefor the resteem and upvotes are handy, wished it was different.

thats what it says

as to the votes to to come from users i agree
i think voting bots should be banned but im new to steemit so there might be aspects i dont fully get yet.

Self upvote is another one. That should not even be possible. It's vain on normal platforms. But here is't a Problem.

If you are dolphin and above you can just make money by up-voting your own posts.

It takes away from any other curators if your posting is not totally worthless to begin with. And it takes away from everybody as there is only that many steem dollar generated each day.

Self upvote should be banned.

What's wrong with making a little extra money?

What is worse than self-upvote? someone with multiple accounts voting for own lame posts everyday.

Yes, we all know one of those. You only have to look at:

Quite the opposite: We want more people to decide whats valuable and what is worthless. And we want that decision to be done on merit of the article.

And if you want to promote: There is a fat promote button underneath your postings.

I'm new to steemit as wel I tought you get votes when you write interesting things or share your story blog or whatever. (would not be bad tough actually having steem to get some savings going)

That's the idea. However there seem to be a few flaws in the system. Namely: self upvotes and selling votes. Both distort and undermine the fundamentally merit based system.

Indeed. When I first heard of vote selling I immediately became suspicious. There is something fishy, if not outright evil going on. And selling (and buying) votes is certainly at the heart of it.
