RE: Joining in on the self voting on comments fray...
It seems that 6.6% of rewards go to commenters and 70.7% go to the authors, curation is more profitable then commenting it seems, 14.2%. A theoretical split would be better at 10-90, these numbers are kinda sad from the point of engagement.
Yeah I am hoping engagement shifts... So based upon today's models that could work. We could also go closer to my 20% / 80% that I made up out of the air and effectively be doubling the ceiling for comment engagement.
In a way you would also not affect comment self voting though, by the looks of it, a handful of offenders are easy to deal with right now, there is something to say about the fail that is 4x the voting power used, two steps forward one step back. Hey ned can we listen to the community for once..............
Yeah I always thought we were going to an N curve but it sounds like we went to 4N for some obscure reason.
Note I really don't want a ceiling. I do think having a firewall to protect different types of activities from each other might be worth doing though.
I personally believe curating pays too much. Yet it is that payout that continues to inspire the truly powerful to keep spreading the wealth. Hopefully not just to themselves.

This posts is interesting, it shows that self comment voting is a problem, but by the looks of it there's only a few offenders.
The guy at the bottom of that list was the person I interacted with that I watched obsessively up voting his own comments. I just looked at his account and the top one on the list. They may have stopped... Though they guy I dealt with only has two comments so far of his within the past 4 hours or so that he didn't up vote. So we shall see.
Yeah I do think there are only a few offenders at the moment.
You probably get a kick out of knowing that too as I know you've had some run ins with that person.
They spout off flat earth nonsense, spread global warming still, have wrote some classic communism posts like let's assume a tractor and have attacked religion. Yeah I forgot where I ran into them but they seem obviously some kind of operation, not an actual person.
Not so much an operation... other than victim of a mind plague that like a zombie seeks to spread it. :) Doesn't want to hear anything new, just wants to eat brains.
I think it was either the language in general or the use of pronouns that made me think "operation".
