RE: Flagging War: What The Hell Do You Have In Your Mind? A Short Term Solution To Fix a Long Term Problem?
I'd like to see more projects like @freezepeach (dead) https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@freezepeach/freezepeach-the-flag-abuse-neutralizer that make people feel safer that there is logic in the policing being done and that they will be defended with the same logic if someone decide to go rogue on them.
How about my UserAuthority (UA) HF21 proposal?
account_can_downvote (bool) = (ua_account - ua_minimum_threshold > 0) ? true :false
The UA probability distribution uses all follower data inside the blockchain already (with follow-transaction per block). By dumping all UA results (per block) inside a binary index (ua.db), we can hash the ua.db result and store the hash inside a blockchain block for consensus.
And it's not just an idea, I've been building the code already together with @stoodkev here https://github.com/realScipio/ua-js
Can you calculate already some examples?
What is the UA for @berniesanders? What for @blocktrades?
And what for @cron, @spaminator, @appblizz, @markboss?
I'd be curious about that as well. I'd have to do some work on bots. I use a private bot that was graciously shared with me to fight abuse.
@mack-bot & @quarry are used as markers and probably wouldn't gain a following and won't follow anyone. If they did they'd probably be followed by spammers to watch what they are doing. lol
Not yet, I'm also on a backlog of Utopian posts to be moderated. :P
PS: also keep in my mind, once UA is deployed, new "rules" apply, so different behavior. Once people understand their following influences the UA scores of everybody, they will think better about who (not) to follow...
New rules, new behavior.
