RE: Can Steemit Discover My Real Identity? - Day 0
"Full name guesses can also be made in the form of comments made to each post. Only top level comments with one full name (first and last) will be valid."
really, so the right answer won`t count if it has not the most upvotes?
good luck with that!
If you have another abuse limiting mechanism I'm all ears, but otherwise you could just spam comments of guesses- there needs to be some community consensus no?
How about Top 5% comments with the restrictions: Top 1 if less than 20 comments, top 10 if more than 200 comments (note: the values can be altered, might also be something like top 5 / 100 comments, not sure what would match this kind of challenge the best).
this could optionally be further restricted/improved by a rule like "only count comments with at least 1 vote" count, or something like "at least x% votes of top 1" (e.g. if top 1 has 50 votes, and at least 20% of the votes are needed, then only the top 5% comments with more than 10 votes are accepted)
this would scale a bit but still require a high enough participation to exclude simple bots.
I think a function of # of account followers rather than # of comments makes more sense. If tied to comments you could theoretically spam comments to allow a higher number of non-spam guesses
you're right.
also we might restrict it further to either a question or a set of guesses (e.g. you post 1 comment with text "guesses", which can be upvoted and all the guesses are replied to it, so that either a question is top voted, or that guess collection)
that way the account value / bounty would get even bigger as well
Limit the total guesses to some reasonable number like the top 10. If there is not enough upvotes on the guesses pick the first ten by submission date. That way people can pick which questions are most important. Keep track of which questions you have answered in your posts as well please
I totaly understand the problem with spam comments. But if somebody has the right answer, He/she is right.
Maybe if you limit the amount of guesses. Like 10 per day for names and 10 for questions. It will be more structured. They can choose between these 10 questions, highest will win. And if the name is correct, but it will take time, then it is one out of 10 but still the right.
Other questions and guesses will be ignored/deleted? So nobody has to read tons of comments.
I hope I could help, the idea is good 😊
Good luck
I think it would be a bit unfair to him to answer 10 questions a day, maybe something like 3, but names should have a high number, such as 15 - 20. The reasoning is that you can formulate questions that cover large areas, but names are very specific. Too many questions a day narrows him down too quickly
Yes i know, that's why I wrote 10 questions per day to ask and they can vote for and the highest voted will be answered.😉
So we meant the same😊
Have a nice day.
These are all good suggestions, thank you for your input. Based on your feedback I have updated the rules (edited in the above post and will be referenced in today's post).
To summarize though, each day I will respond to highest voted question AND the top 3 highest voted name guesses. I gave it some thought, and I think it makes sense to try to number of name guesses allowed per day to some function of the number of followers.
10, for now at least since we don't know if this will grow even, is a bit much. This account doesn't even have 10 followers.
