I think RC limitations are a necessary obstacle for spammers. I tell you this because I have experienced the abundance of comment spam that was present on the platform prior to HF 20.

I must add that I wasn't a fan of certain aspects of the implementation of HF 20 specifically the disproportionate reduction of reward share capability of smaller accounts vs larger accounts.

To put it in simple terms, the upvote capability of smaller accounts was nerfed. That's a gaming term essentially meaning "made weaker".

Not that I don't empathize with the impoverished, I would like to see a solution for honest users with limited economic means such as the case for Venezuelans.

Unfortunately, this nation has experienced socialism in practice. It doesn't quite work out despite the lofty ideals often associated.

I pray the same outcome doesn't happen to my nation. That useless economic system seems to be gaining a foothold in the sheepish minds of millennials without the capacity for critical thought but I digress.

Irrespective of the estate of certain groups, we must always be mindful of the larger picture. We must always be vigilant against the greedy that are ready to take advantage of any ground we are willing to give

Enter @steemonboarding.

We are working on a site that users may be properly screened and educated in proper conduct on this platform. The idea is users can make a commitment to go through a course and this barrier of work would hopefully deter lazy abusers seeking maximum profit with minimal effort.

They can then be granted a delegation upon completion after demonstrating that they understand the "right way" to succeed. Not by abuse but by hard work contributing to the collective success of the platform that avails us all.

I look forward to bringing such a vision into the reality. Thanks for your article that provoked this comment.
