RE: Resolving conflicts the Steemian way - a proposal for arbitration on Steemit
@mattclarke - I think some of the issues with disputes arise from the fact that the person that has a higher power is inclined to make decisions that are aligned with their views rather than that of the general community. I haven't spent enough time on steemit to really have the outreach and reputation to be a wise arbitrator/mediator (but I should be working for the dole provided by #centrelink), but if I have to put my hand up so that more qualified people can step up then I am happy to volunteer myself.
Furthermore, to help grow the community and benefit other people as well, I think it would be great if #teamaustralia is a first in creating something like this (so we are know for something else other than the term 'kangaroo court'), so perhaps something to take up with @ausbitbank? We do have the reputation of giving people a fair go to uphold :D
I actually considered this myself, several months ago.
(One of many ideas I sat on the backburner.)
If you can demonstrate a history of being trusted in meatspace; (JP is pretty good. That's not easy to get.), the fact you haven't been around long enough to develop preferences could work in your favour.
We're all planning for a bright future here.
Everyone will assume you consider your reputation more lucrative in the long term; than some sneaky kickback right now.
Mull it over.
I will mull over it some more, but I thought it makes sense to try and approach some of the more'senior' and experienced users to see what the best way to go about this might be. I certainly appreciate your feedback and suggestion and will consider what the next steps should be :) But if you have more ideas on the backburner, perhaps this has given you a nudge to make a couple of posts?
One will be good to go in a couple of weeks. Another one will have to wait for communities to arrive.
Next year's going to be incredible :)
The real problem is that anyone sufficiently humble to do a good job of it, is too humble to consider himself qualified.
I note that your reservations stem from a belief that others won't find you credible. At no point have you suggested you'd be bad at it :)
Throw your hat in the ring. Even if you suck we'll respect you for trying, that's what beta is for :)
Point taken. Be on the lookout for it in my next post!
