RE: Got a Problem with Steem's Reward System? Read This!
Well the purpose behind the idea of whales is good but I feel it needs to be refined with time as the system evolves. As of now I feel some things similar to the follow might be essential
- discourage group voting - by analyzing patterns
- top whales weekly/monthly open talk and questions
- ability to remove/elect whales
I find it hard to do #3, because it's based on SP. And I think that it was clever to design the system in a way that voting power is based on investment in the platform. I just think it should be flattened. But I don't see how we can keep the system in place if we could override particular people's votes. And I don't think we should do it even if we could.
yes #3 is certainly a controversial one. #3 is related to #2. we are not going to allow just everyone to demote anyone. But only someone with equal or more or close to say 10% SP should be allow to do it. And it can after outcome of #2 ... weekly/monthly open talks with the leader of platform.
you can override votes with downvoting. enough minnows can downvote a whale, thats a fact actually.
man dude nice to see u around again :)
no need to remove whales. Flagging / downvoting done by enough minnows can negte a whales upvote. in my opinion, if the entire steem community were trained properly, if people truly saw the makup tutorial as a waste of steemers time, then 10,000 minnows could have downvoted the ned and ted whales upvotes and it would not have trended so long. Right now, minnows simply vote on whatever is trending, because at the moment people are in the bandwagon mindset and not privy to the true blog to educational power of this system
