RE: HF 20 - Did A Vote Below 2 cents Just Get Permanently Ignored? (ANSWER SEEMS TO BE ALL VOTES OVER 1 SP SIZE ACCOUNTS ARE GOOD)
Seems to me that's a really significant question @davemccoy, especially as it relates to bringing newcomers into the community.
I'm guessing the demand for @dustsweeper will probably go up, but I'm not sure that's the point here. There's a difference between the payout threshold (for "dust") and the voting threshold.
So if I'm reading this correctly, the WAY this might address spam is that it will no longer work for someone with 100SP to use Busy or a similar platform to cast 0.5% upvotes in some effort to put their stamp on 5000 posts a day. But that feels kind of spammy to me anyway, to I'd be OK with those votes now counting as ZERO.
But I don't think it's going to affect most people, and in particular manual curators. But I could be missing something...
=^..^=
I think you read this right... its not going to affect most people. Only those that vote with less than 1 SP... so I think our crew is fine. I also agree with you that it might help with the spam... and even more help with some of those steemitdefenseleague a-holes that run around giving downvotes just to get their jollys for the day.
Also nice to see my favorite cat! Tell your human to make sure you are well cared for ok?
