RE: Announcing the Delegation Committee
Yeah i have actually interacted with and gotten organic upvotes from all 3 of these users and recognized all 3 of these names as TRUE steemians who I recognize as being active in the trenches, more so than myself. I feel like @aggroed deserves to get delegation for his project because it will employ so many people, and if he has to be on the comittee to get that passed, its not a freakin conflict oif interests, what is this the government? This is steem and its about time community leaders are recognized, so lets applaud steemit inc's new Executive @elipowell for creating the space to allow for a delegation committee to give aggroed some credit in an official steemit inc position..... because he represents the interests of many steemians, and is a sort of Elon Musk character with his hands in many successful projects. If we just had 10 more @aggroed 's each withtheir own unique steem dapp or game as big as steem monsters, steem engine, palnet.io SCOT communities, each one a separate innovation and accomplishment...
I apreciate all of the concerns but Steemit inc cant afford to NOT have aggroed AND why shoudlnt steem monsters get delegation?!
SERIOUSLy now.. think about this ... what conflict of interst is there really but your own conflict with the interests of steem and steemit inc being able to bless a succesful dapp like steemmonsters with delegation otherwised going toi some otehr project... but with steemmonsters we could onbaord and reward and Afford SO MUCH more...
Let's look it up in the dictionary:
You may well be right that @aggroed's delegation proposal deserves to be approved. If so then people on the committee without a direct personal interest should see that too.
And aggroed is not allowed to gift his own projects, obviously, so just no, sorry , not a conflict of interest and @steemit @andrarchy and @aggroed will agree
if you start calling conflict of interest on everyone with a successful steem project then you will have no one left to fill the positions
this is nit picking
Free delegation to one's own project is certainly a personal benefit. Denying said delegation to a directly competing project would also be a personal benefit. Read the definition again, it doesn't say anything about gifting.
Nowhere did I say people should be excluded from the positions, only that they should decline to take part in specific decision where there is a direct conflict. This is easy to do and not disruptive as long as there is a slightly larger committee or alternates.
Practically every decision making body in the world uses this procedure.
Gifting delegation, giving delegation, your just arguing semantics now...
When i said gift you knew what I meant, delegating... gifting a delegation, giving a delegation, great what have we done here? argue semantics, cool
no one is giving free delegation to ones own project and no one is going to deny others LOL
Its a catch 22! under your scenarios @aggroed can't help but do something wrong!
And please, tell us about how we should just start using the rules and regulations put forth by all the existing governments on earth, yeah great idea. Should we start using Roberts Rules of order while were at it? Why not just start electing representatives for each region, to spend delegation based on geographic population densities... why not just turn steemit inc into the government where we can't ever get anything done because of all the red tape!
Read this: your nitpicking and arguing semantics.
Nope, just step aside in specific case if a direct conflict exists. Not catch 22 at all. Easy.
I said nearly every decision making body. That's more than governments, it is also company boards, clubs, charities, etc.
Really this concept is basic and I don't know why you are getting yourself so worked up or confused over it.
I do know that your comments aren't adding value so I'm going to go ahead and make a little downvote to offset your undeserved self-upvote.
All of your comments actually REMOVED value from steem so they deserve to be downvoted as well. Oh look at that your childish attitude as just accomplished nothing! congratulations
You are 100% jealous of @aggroed or you wouldn't be here complaining :D
Addressing conflict of interest (that not even aggroed himself can deny) is not about “jealousy”, it’s about making intelligent observations.
There very much is conflict of interest that will need to be dealt with, the committee seems to be aware of this and we will see how they handle it.
Trying to make it about something personal or “jealousy” is just moronic.
