RE: Self-voting user list since HF19
I really don't see what shame lists will achieve. I feel that anyone has a right to vote for whatever they want too. I have seen new members as well as whales posting really good as well as really bad copy and paste posts. But if that specific user feel like upvoting his own stuff, then what will a shame list do to persuade them to change?
Not much I guess. I vote on other people's comments and posts during the week and also vote my own comments close to expiry date.
The little bits extra will help my account grow, in turn this will help other members as well.
Even if changes are made to the voting system self voting people will make groups and just vote between themselves. I say stress less about other and so what feels right for yourself.
Well right now it's at least causing some discussion and increase of awareness. It's not really intended as a shame list at all, the statistics just happened to have names in it, which i could have censored, but then people constantly would be asking for the names so i might as well include them. Others would release the names eventually anyway since it's all public information.
First you need to understand that curation and content creation is very different. Secondly, In general self-voting is only problematic if you do it too much (50%+ is probably way too much). What's also important is how much you are actively contributing to the platform (buying STEEM excluded).
The problem is much more complex, so i i'm not going to answer any single comment and will probably publish a massive article in the coming week(s) to hopefully take away a lot of the confusion.
