RE: About the Whole Self-Upvoting Debate-- Let's Examine the BIGGER Perspective!
I thought they designed the upvoting and reputation system to weed out the bad players. I guess we'll see how it goes. @denmarkguy
That was my impression, as well... but I'm guessing they just didn't factor in just how many people there are who are willing to sit and click links for a chance at making 1/2c.
Gotcha. So if people keep abusing Steemit, and nothing is done about it, the Steemit ship will surely founder. Getting rid of self -voting would be a good start.
I read a good suggestion somewhere... which actually got the attention of several of the witnesses... that the code be modified in such a way that people absolutely can upvote themselves... BUT it drains your voting power multiple times faster than voting for others.
I like it because it doesn't get into the gray area of censorship, but it does go a long way towards disincentivizing self-upvotes.
@denmarkguy ... Yes indeed...tweaking like that was I meant before. They'll figure out a way to handle these things. 😎 Steemit is just too good an idea to let it get ruined by abusers.
