RE: Too many community creations?
500? Wow. That's definetly more than we expected. I wonder how many steem users joined any community (that would give us rough idea of how much attention did communities manage to achieve and how many users did actually hear about them).
Any clue?
We strongly believe, that Steem-engine tokens, communities and SMTs should be more expensive. I think bareer of (example) 500steem should be a must. Why would we need communities created by users, who either cannot afford or do not want to spent even that much for such a service. We should all assume, that only people who can invest as little as 100-200$ should be behind communities.
Otherwise we will end up with so many of them (most are spammy), making it much harder to discover quality ones.
Both networks now have hundreds of dead communities.
Such a good point. We will soon face issue of removing dead communities. Which were created and never used. There will be so many of it.
Hopefully same mistake wont be made with SMTs. Price for creation of SMT should not go below 1000 steem.
ps. welcome within project.hope community :)
Sometimes I wonder if some features should be attached to reputation like StackOverflow does it.
Along the line of: No downvotes below reputation 30. That would end all the reputation 25 downvote bots.
Cheap Communities creation from reputation 50 onwards.
The advantage: You actually need to make postings to gain reputation. You can't just power up reputation.
You brought some good points here @krischik
I never thought about downvote bots - is this real issue?
Since most of them only have 15 Steem Power they are more an annoyance then an issue. But they make a lot of votes:
Hi again @krischik
Thank you for your reply.
