RE: #STEEMGIGS: (TIL(Today I Learned)) — My Upvote is Still Worth 0.000 After All
You are probably getting that message if you are upvoting within 12 hours of payout of a post or comment. That was included in hardfork 17 to stop people from upvoting hours/minutes/seconds before the 7 day mark. Its normal and everyone gets that message if you try to upvote anything within 12 hours of it being paid out.
Yes, I am aware of that @freedomcoin I did it again for this post only. My point in this post is - if they can do it why not also do it (LOCK UPVOTE) in upvotes less than 0.02 SBD value instead of wasting "dust" voting power based on @timcliff's proposal (I don't know how to insert hyperlink from SteemGigs sorry) which is very discouraging for newbies. And why they just don't set a CAP too. I see some members with high SP's who SELF-UPVOTE "crap" posts/comments" I think they are the WORST SPAMMERS of this platform. A "Thank You!" comment self-upvoted $1 or more and paid, and your valuable comment upvoted $0.01 by newbies for example not be paid? Oh my! What kind of system is that? :)
I believe the solution for spamming is WORD FILTERING or I don't know the right term exactly to i.e. only pay UNIQUE POSTS/COMMENTS with minimum CHARACTER/WORD COUNT? And a vote for "Thank You!" "Nice" comments be blocked.
So your saying upvotes worth less than $0.01 are too small and being orphaned? Sounds like a scaling problem.
Yes I agree spamming one word replys is not helping steemit. But if someone wants to buy steem from an exchange power it up and self upvote I do not see a direct problem with that. Unless you are saying somehow that is causing payouts for small upvotes worth less than $0.01?
I have no problem with self upvote but ALWAYS upvoting a 1-2 word comment wether self or others and authors getting paid for it is UNFAIR to those who posts great contents/comments and get zero because they only receive 0.01 SBD reward to be rounded off to zero. And that is NOT preventing spam but is actually tolerating spam (by "rich" spammers only) and pushing away "poor" newbies who can contribute great contents.
