RE: Steemit Supports dMania with 500k Steem Power / Bot Rules Update
That's really a good news, but please fix the dmania bot to support original quality content only.
A lot of users are now posting copied memes/gifs and reposts from various sources.
There should be a way to keep them in check or at least a way for other members to report the miscreants. This way the bot would be vigilant of these abuser.
Lastly, I would suggest to lower the voting worth and increase the number of votes, but not more than 1 vote per day for any given user.
Cheers,
Copying a meme is of course a lot easier than creating one. dMania is mainly a place for sharing content, because it is impossible to know if you are the original creator. For memes it doesn't matter. A meme is basically a joke in form of a picture. For a joke it doesn't matter who the creator is. If you hear a good joke, you share it with your friends and family. It's the same for memes. The most important thing is that they are shared.
I still believe that original content will achieve more upvotes and higher rewards. If people repost, users can still flag that post and it will quickly disappear.
@zombee: I think this is the kind of thing, @trlotto correct me if I'm wrong, is referring to:

It's not necessarily a repost for dMania, but it's definitely not original content. Nor has it been changed in anyway, other than a title and emoji.
Based on what you've said here in the comments, this is okay on dMania, but I'm wondering how the original content is going to win out when it's the dMania bot running up the payout amounts.
Here, the dMania bot has a 40% upvote for $92.24 which is almost 83% of the current total payout. After that, the next five out of six are vote bots which were paid for, and are not, from what I understand, curated by humans based on any other criteria.
I think I saw a dMania original MEME and right after a few minutes somebody copied it under the same tag... The second one didn't earn anything.
Yes, it is easier but the only thing a re-post will get is a big fat zero, because there are so many similar MEMEs out there, joke is a joke but if you see it a few times too much it loses teh taste like pretty much anything else.
@zombee this for your effort -> https://steemit.com/dmania/@gleek/gy9ei55m
