Thanks for informing in detail what the background of the action from the account @inertia is. I am maybe not that active on SPT, but an active user of Splinterlands and also the KR community.

I will not say that the thesis from @inertia is wrong, nor can I say that it is right.

First of all, you will have to see how the distribution of SPT has been done.

The SPT distribution was done on a specific way, as so called Steemmonsters mavericks (accounts that have bought more than 500 packs, which equals to an investment of at least 1000 USD) were able to claim their SPT when verifying their discord name with their Steem ID.

It means that the Genesis Qty was created mainly with high stakers of Steemmonster players.

Currently KR users have a stake of about 35% of the whole SPT, which may explain the trending issue.

If you look into the account numbers, under 4.2% of the accounts are holding the 35% stake from KR.

If you look into the current orderbook of SPT, about 40% of the buying orders (have excluded the @inertia order for a way too low price under the current market price) are also from KR.

KR users tend to keep between themselves when curating, which comes mainly because of the language barrier. It is by the way not different for other languages, as an example my Korean posts are mostly not curated from any international users. (I know that @intertia is upvoting also KR SPT material)

So, IMHO downvoting on these targeted groups is not helping on the long term but the international community will first of all need,

• larger stakes of SPT to distribute the curation field, means buy in more SPT to get a voice and be able to curate a wider field, as @interia has done.
• An UI change, which a Nitrous tribe CAN do. https://kr.tripsteem.com/ is a good example for showing content as the tribe organizer wish to show it (BTW, not nitrous). TripleA is also working on a solution to show the content based on nitrous as it would benefit the tribe the best. It is something that the nitrous tribe organizer has to do.

I have also forwarded the conversation between @inertia and myself (the captured screenshot in the main post is a conversation between us two) to the KR community and the reaction is as expected not overwhelming.

The action has indeed got attention for sure, but I am not sure if it will have the actual effect that was planned for this action. I am more worried that it will not solve any issue but create only deep emotional barriers, as the movement to get "better" postings on SPT (which is always relative from how to see it, as getting a quest done would take at least 30 min. to invest into Steemmonsters daily!) is coming from a good mindset, but without the matching system or SPT operator working on it, it could just end in a meaningless downvoting war. And unfortunately I don't have an idea how to stop it, because a disagreement on rewards can go both sides.
