[SPS] Proposal for the agreement of the down-voting standards

■ Proposal for the agreement of the down-voting standards

1. Overview

Down-voting activities have been increased after HF22 allowed free downvoting pools.
In STEEM blockchain, down-voting is a way of expressing negative opinions or disliking content, and can be used by anyone.
However, when there is no public consensus within the community on the standards of down-voting, down-voting can be perceived as a means of discrimination.
As one of the representatives for the South Korean Steem community, we take some down-voting cases very seriously because they are focusing on non-English postings, including Korean postings with unclear reasons.
These kinds of behaviors are not consistent with the #new-steem intent of "providing appropriate compensation for good content" or with the Steem blockchain ideology advocating censorless SNS.

Example 1: A post that has been down-voted due to the missing thumbnail image.

Example 2: A post dealing with the loss of a friend, in sorrowful emotion, has been down-voted. It is very rude to down-vote a post with this type of content, rather than supporting a person that has lost someone close to them.

Steem Blockchain is the space where members of different cultures and languages stay together.
If down-voting is a necessary means for a Steem-blockchain, we believe that the clear consensus among community members on the down-voting criteria is required. In addition, we think that down-voting activities beyond the agreed-upon criteria should be prohibited.
Based on this context, SCT community proposes the following down-voting criteria:

(1) Clear plagiarism
(2) Posting of personal attack against others
(3) Posting dissemination of false facts (fake news)
(4) Postings related to crime simulation and criminal activity
(5) Racist Posting

In addition to the down-voting criteria, we also propose implementing features that allow users to choose the reason for down-voting.

2. Implementation

Community developers can generate a reason-for-down-voting feature in PR and submit it to a public repository or submit a development proposal with the same content to the SPS.

3. How to Vote

4. Purpose of the Proposal

This proposal is created to record the community's opinion on down-voting criteria within the community in Steem-Blockchain as a consensus manner.

5. What Happens if this Proposal Gets Approved?

If this proposal has been approved, all Steem community members should try to follow these down-voting standards.

Your points are valid. Many people on Steem are frustrated with the toxic environment caused by whimsical downvoting. Sadly, I don't believe your proposal is the right solution to the problem.

We need to remove the Proof of Brain reward system on Steem and make it an SMT thing exclusively. A universal voting system based off of stake-weight is centralization and control by the wealthy.

Is there / has there been a proposal to change the proof of brain reward system to prevent the centralization and control by the wealthy? Seems like one of Steem's biggest drawbacks. Or is SMT going to solve this? (I'm quite new here and trying to figure it all out!)

There are plenty of members that want to remove PoB from the STEEM currency and make its minting separate of any "reward pool" related to content. The problem is that different communities care about different types of content and should not have an impact on other communities.

SMTs can't solve this problem if STEEM remains PoB. This is because the STEEM currency will always be viewed as the "real" asset in the system unless it was made neutral by separating STEEM minting from the reward systems.

Great proposal.

I vote to ammend it a bit though.
Everyone should downvote what i say and when i say it.
I will be the arbiter of online justice and i will be fair.
From hence forth you shall call me....

With the exception of 1. Plagiarism ~ all other 4 ideas are based on different feelings and opinions and can be used to censor thought and ideas.

2~ personal insult/attack and 5~ racist are based on opinions and feelings which differ among cultures and people. Especially nationalism and politics.

3~ False information is often just a tactic used to argue something you disagree with true or not.
4~ Crime and criminal activity, examples vary between nation state for example some drugs are legalized in certain areas and in some countries you can have laws and states based on a religion.

So is this why @haejin / @ranchorelaxo / @dcommerce mainly downvotes "Non-Korean" content indiscriminately and upvotes Korean content almost exclusively? To "balance the score"?

The platform you are looking for already exists. It's called Facebook.

Useless post. If an abuser wants to downvote someone, he’ll just select one of the reasons and downvote again.

By choosing a reason, most people may check again that a post is deserve to "downvote".

Any good idea is welcome for removing reasonless downvoting.

Thank you.

Your tribes already disabled downvotes, so what's the problem?

Oh...it's always about the STEEM rewards. I get it.

Yeah, the Steem steill has that problem. That's why we ask Steem community for consensus now.

You could fix this with your SMT in the korean community. The only way to do that would be to remove downvotes completely though. Guidelines won’t help.
