RE: Keeping Things Simple
After HF20 we were told that it was only the first minute vote that would be burned, the 2-14 minute was a lot more to the content producer then gradually becoming the 75/25 at 15 minutes. If all those early votes were burned that would not have been the intent of HF20, but intents and reality are rarely the same.
They do need to lower the threshold if they want to keep the reward system running. The dust vote level should only be applied to those accounts that have sufficient Voting SP to avoid casting a dust level vote.
It shouldn't take long for someone to work their way up from dust. But I have a different definition of what long is. Those first few months should be difficult, especially if you don't know anyone. I was such a wallflower when I showed up. Luckily I dropped writing essays and moved into the realm of bizarre, where I belong, most days. All I did that was different was: stood out, intentionally. Too many like to blend in and I nearly quit because I was making the same mistake. I'm rambling. It's late and I'm drinking coffee.
