"It almost seems unfair to expect a Steemian whale to use all of his/hers voting Power to combat Self Voting "
Doing so is just a reverse form of communism, where only the "rich" have to pay the price for the proletariat.
"A separate pool for flagging is the only solution I see to the problem..."
I've noticed this hasn't been very popular the several times I suggested it. It literally got me flagged by the supposed anti-abusers.
I had no idea you caught a flag for making sense yet again. You know, truth be told, its hard to come up with a perfect solution to these problems, to me the solution is any has to be coded.
Like you've said plenty of times code is law, if its not in the code, then there is little we can do about things we disagree with, that might be a hard pill to swallow, but it seems to be an observation more than an opinion.
