RE: HF20 Update: Operations Stable
Creating the illusion of popularity is easy to see through.
The creation of a new section: Peoples Choice
When accounts voting match a certain criteria, the post moves up the ladder. Minority accounts like those with the highest SP can vote, but their vote wouldn't count towards positioning, only rewards. Small accounts virtually inactive aside from upvoting wouldn't count towards positioning. Paid for votes wouldn't count towards positioning. Only proven curators showing human behavior could contribute to positioning.
Remember the 'active' tab? That would be a nice feature to have back as well. I don't think I'm the only one here who can have over 100 legitimate comments under posts and still go virtually unnoticed.
Sounds good in theory but probably not one of those things can be reliably detected by an algorithm without people figuring out how to spoof it.
Yes it got removed because it was so obviously manipulated.
I could counter that, break things down and offer more solutions; since I can't build them, I guess it's all talk, no action.
You have yourself a good day, @smooth.
