RE: 📷Top Photos of The Day on BeScouted. January the 16th. Mild artistic nudity involved.📷
Interesting thoughts. Somehow I woke up at night watching my photos in the popular at the top. Woke up and they are somewhere in the bottom.
There is an algorythm in place that is collecting rating points that depreciate with time in order to assure rotation and allow more fresh content to be discovered. We admit that currently we have a problem when users create multiple fake accounts to promote their photos and win photo of the day and get an upvote but i assure this issue is adressed and will be solved in the near future to assure fair competition. For the same reason i avoid uploading any of my own content on BeScouted to avoid accusations and conflict of interest just in case my own photo would win the contest.
BeScouted is operating for a while already, and there are people that have great following, so some photos that you do not like may win Photo of The Day because of more pormotes, but that is contextual and will even out once more members will join the platform.
Other than that i can personally say that please accept my personal apologies for any bad experience you might have had on the platform. We are guys that have no funding and pushing the idea for artists to get paid for sharing their work. We would be sorry to see you go, as you are both talented artists, but if such would be your choice please take a look again once we have streamlined the processes more and implemented new security and antiplagiarism measures. Have a great day guys!
Thanks for the explanations, and kind words. I understand perfectly that the project is still developing. And I would be happy to provide free assistance if you need it. Negative experience, even if there is. Anyway, experience, and any experience is good. It is necessary as well as constructive criticism and suggestions.
Personally, my opinion is that on your project, terribly there is not enough opportunity to put not only positive but also negative evaluation. And also I have recently been unable to reduce the power of voice from 100 to a smaller number of percentages.
And the claims to you and an excellent project can not be. I really like the idea of this project. and the implementation of the finalization and ideas for improvement, I will send you.
We are just starting out from a personal project with no resources available whatsoever up until now recently. It will improve, it will evolve faster now and we will consider all the feedback. We know the broken parts, steem api is not particularly well documented but we are getting there little by little and picking up the speed. I wish things were simpler but they are not, there are a lot of challanges to overcome, that often are not even visible to a user, nor should they be as it is our job to fix it. Just saying that we are doing everything we can to iprove the quality of the service and continue to do so. Please bear with us.
And there is no way that we care who wins Photo of The Day. It's for the community to decide but i think we will stop the upvotes on top photos until we find a way to prevent spam account creation and distribute those votes more evenly to all community members for now.
You also forgot to mention that votes by incomplete and unverified accounts are also removed from the equation by the algorythm.
