RE: DON'T REMOVE Curation Rewards! Just stop them when the post reach the trending page !!!
Interesting idea. Thanks for sharing. One issue that I can possibly see with this, is that once a post has reached the trending page, curation rewards will already be quite small, won't they? Since the curation rewards are based on order of stake when voting, adding votes to an already highly-upvoted posts will probably only yield small rewards anyway for everyone except the largest whales. So the effect of this change will probably be small for all except the largest accounts. Or maybe that was the point all along :)
The point is to make it clear and certain that people should not vote up Trending posts on the basis of curation rewards. You are correct that the rewards are small in practice and that likely the smart thing to do anyway, but the formula is complicated and even if people understand it, they may still throw up a vote thinking that a chance to get 0.001 SP is better than nothing. When it is unambiguously zero then it is removed altogether as a reason to vote up those posts.
