RE: We need better tools to control spam
Policing spam is a very challenging task in a world where we wish to avoid censorship and protect freedom of expression.
We have some ideas on how to flag accounts that are prone to abuse.
Well, so far we have seen quite clear plagiarizing in hopes to get rewards. That should be discouraged as soon as possible, to make sure that we promote good culture for Steem community.
Political fights for rewards will eventually come, but hopefully not too soon. I think the most important thing will be that Steem is uncensorable for everybody, even though some might skew how the rewards are allocated purely with political intentions in mind. But even if somebody will remain in a discriminated minority and get less rewards, they will be still able to use Steem to get their message out.
