Correct Everitt. We'll get there in time I'm sure ....
Was reading last week an article about proof of work (POW, such as Steem tokens) against a new idea of proof of human work (POH). The simplest example of POH that we are all familiar with is Captchas; they are considered POH because easy for humans but hard for bots. That's one simple way to solve the voter bots issue... assuming it's an issue!
I consider it to be an issue.
those who are profiting from it consider it to be a feature.
I've been told that
baffle-gab....geek-speak...yadda yadda....
won't work on the block chain.
The auto voting has to be controlled. I don't believe in bot voting. If you weren't around for new content then you deserve zero curation benefits.
my thoughts exactly
curation means
" I read this thang and I like it (or not)"
bots are NOT curationg.
They're just cream separators
taking the 'good stuff' off the top.
It does separate the wheat from the chaff. Totally opposed to bot voting at 17 minutes after my whale friend's blog is posted. That's not community.
Sub-communities could help this. Less people would flag posts they care about.
You are sharp today qa - commmunity impressive words :)
How about nsfw content? I have nothing against freedom of speech, but maybe this kind of content should be opt-in rather than opt-out.
there's a tag.
the only time you'll see NSFW is if you want to.
if you see something you don't like
Mute the author.
you'll never see anything from him again.
That content is only kind of hidden. To hide it completely, you have to change your settings. My idea is to hide nsfw content completely by default. In other words, you would opt in to show it rather than the other way around.
I don't really care that much about the issue as far as my personal viewing habits are concerned. I'm more concerned about other people that I might recommend Steemit to. As it is, I have to be kind of hesitant about it because of the porn issue. Some people will freak out if there is even a small probability that their kids might see some porn.
ever hear the term
mind your own business?
the content is hidden ENOUGH
if someone wants to see it they can
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
