RE: A Guideline Reminder from the Church of Piglet
That would be great, but we doubt it is possible to get rid of bidbots, or even curtail them, without getting rid of delegations. It is just a matter of what helps/hurts Steemit more overall. Opinions will vary, as they should.
We just need to create a "forbid-bot", which accumulates enough SP to flag bidbot votes ;-)
But seriously: We need to establish an incentive to quit using those services. Imagine, what would happen, if the use of bidbots/selfvotes would lower the reputation of the users? Or the other way around, if we would create a token to reward all people, that deny making use of these kind of votes?
That certainly wouldn't stop the abusers to use sockpuppets for their evil business, but maybe they would start to think about it.
@nonameslefttouse has already put forward a very good idea of how to go about it, but I don't think it is getting much traction.
You can read about it here and in some of his larger comments, but it is too hot here to track them all down for you. The Church of Piglet sorely needs air-conditioning.
Haha, same thing here. It‘s hard to think, while it’s so hot. But thanks for the link. I will certainly read through the post and comments and get back to you. Cheers!
