Glad to see that you understand the future of flag rewards! I wasn't sure which way your thoughts were leaning. We don't even need whale help to make a flag bot, just a bunch of members who will to donate a few SBD to an account of a trusted non-self voter who can then be turned into a paid delegation to hand out flags.
A flag bot should first be used to tackle the main issues we face plagiarism and identity thief. Once those are corrected we can move onto unreasonable rewards some are getting but as it is now, rewards are the last issue we need flags for until the other issues are fixed.
A flag bot makes more sense to me than everyone flagging stuff for rewards.
Agreed, everyone is concerned about what they get only.
A flag bot should be for the people by the people without worry of what they get, solely for the help to the community. It should be used for flagging after a consensus of minnows vote on flags, never should a flag bot be controlled by whales protecting their returns. That is like selfvoters complaining about bid bots. What are they protecting, the platform or their personal returns from the pool?
I believe their personal returns because before bidbots, the trending page was always filled with posts from 10 or 12 people repeatedly, and nobody complained about that.
100% agreed, funny what information is so easy to find on blockchain.
Certainly!
