RE: Is this Quality Knowledge I Put Out Not Helpful to Steemit? Flagged for Quality Getting Rewarded?
Agree. I always thought the icon change was harmful.
Agree. I always thought the icon change was harmful.
I thing all will be solved if we have both icons/options in existence ! .... BUT >>>>>>>
1.When pushing "flag" it should get a hardcoded -100% downvote
2.When pushing the down arrow it get a hardcoded -20% downvote!
PS When the downvote is -20% don't let the reputation algorithm apply (No impact) ;)
Actually it doesn’t need to get hard-coded! Each social media can have their own strategy on that matter!
I can agree with your thinking here to some degree, hence the upvote.
But it seems to me that users would still be able to create multiple accounts, likely bots, to downvote as much as they liked no matter what.
Until this can be stopped, if it can ever be stopped, the hardcoded votes won't be of much help I think.
PS I'm not sure I understand your comment now... especially since the PS. Can you expand on this idea?
I wrongly thought that reputation goes down when reducing rewards and the down voter has more reputation, but that is not correct (@smooth explained )... It happens only if rewards fall bellow zero... But still I think leaving 2 options with different % down votes will make the trick... It doesn't matter if someone has one or many accounts... Total SP matters
Maybe one option would be a form of downvote that reduces reward and reputation to zero (but not negative). That is, not expressing an opinion that the post or poster is harming the platform (and should there lose rep), but instead expressing one that the post or poster is not helping or not helping proportionately with what would otherwise be the reward payout (and should not gain or should gain less rep)
Oh right... I guess that's a good idea then. I'm very positive to it.
What about a system where downvotes/flags don't actually have an effect on anything until you get 5 of them, then you get the weight of all 5 plus any after that?
It is easy to create multiple accounts and vote multiple times. There are already people who have thousands of accounts and bots to control them. That is the nature of a decentralized system.
Nesting again... I also very much like the idea you put forward downstairs, under liondanis answer to me.
