RE: Proposal to make spam less profitable

in #steem7 years ago

@timcliff if I do understand it correctly that an upvote from me or even other people with an SP below 300 are not good enough to upvote a comment?
Let's take as example that I would write my best article and get 20 great comments on it. It would not be able to upvote these because it would be tossing money out of the window? Since a few day ago an 100% upvote from me wasn't worth more than 0.03, due to the increase of the value of steem, it jumped to 0.05.
But believe it or not I am still the same person! Only no an upvote by me would be worth something while it was not!
Let me tell you what chain reaction this will cause: people will not comment anymore on post by people with an SP below 300, cause an upvote will mean nothing.
People will start up voting their own comments to pas the threshold! Erasing voting power to be given to good article or comments from others! So, the comments of the poor people will stay at the bottom. Does this sound fair to you? Because let's be realistic not everybody takes the time to read all other comments, let online to upvote them!
While I do appreciate the attempt it would kill the steem block chain according to me!
I'm writing around 300 genuine comments per week, I do try to interact as much as possible and also try to change things ( you can read my blogpost from last Friday)!
I know that people are not equal on the steem block chain, but this would create an even bigger gap in the inequality!
Just my 2 cents, oops sorry 2 cents isn't enough value to the network!
Sorry couldn't leave that out!
Cheers,
Peter

Hehe, actually 2 cents is just enough ;)

@timcliff
Well at the moment it would be, but if we are going to change this, then it would be wasted! Normally I would give you an $0.01 upvote, but after reading your post it became clear to me that it would become dust! So, you will get my 2 cents :)
When a post or comment doesn't get to 2 cents, what is happening with the 1 cent? Does it go back to the reward pool or will it just be burned?

It goes back to the rewards pool.

Thx for the answer!

Damn this is what I am looking for. that comment that because we dont have enough SP we can't reward good comments because of the whole dust thing.
