RE: Minnowbooster News: Introducing 5 Day Upvote Submission Limit
While I welcome that changes a lot I would welcome it even more to push it further.
Are people with that new rule still at risk to get flagged by grumpy cat?
I fully agree that 3.5 days post age limit (GrumpyCompliance) or less would be much better (and other vote-sellers have already implemented it), as it would give the community better possibilities to find and evaluate posts upvoted by @minnowbooster (and all those other shady accounts like @peaceandlove whose votes they are selling). The 5 day limit can be a first step to mitigate the worst cases of abuse (and I heard they want to implement some further measures), but I think this service still deserves some @grumpycat attention. For post promotion 1 (or maybe 2) days would be sufficient. In many cases votes are bought purely for profit and not to promote the post.
grumpy cat deliberately did not say anything about minnowbooster and to my knowledge did not act on our customers yet. We want to go to 5 days first, see how it behaves. I personally don't think 3.5 days as an arbitrary number is any better than 5 days or 1 day, so we will base our decision on data, not 'rules'. There are genuine uses for votes at 4 days and we don't want to lock them out.
These changes are certainly welcomed. Steemians have to realize that it's not about themselves but also about the ecosystem. Anything that they're doing to benefit themselves short term at the expense of the ecosystem will damage them in the long run.
I just joined two weeks ago and I definitely think I am in it for the long ride!
thank you so much this is just so awesome , thank you for supporting the growth of steemit
