RE: Simple Redesign on Downvote for More Positivity
Well the resolution system would be something community directed, or at least stake directed. This would be a system where users who are being wrongly flagged or abused can get a human appeal with the prospects of a group with lots of steem power to help the user out - a user who had previously been essentially removed from the view and conversation.
An appeals process is really antithetical to the current philosophy, which is that of incentives only. I'm in favour of retaining this.
Appeals are centralized by nature, as they have to be to some authority. I've debated ideas around that in the past, even proposed some, but ultimately concluded that they are too complex and require a layer which I do not which to see - management.
Users can still act towards a common in the system as it is stands (they do, the whale experiment is one for example), there is just no formal mechanism for this. I think we should not introduce one.
You don't want formality, that is fine. An appeals process would be entirely a layer above steem. It is entirely based on incentives - incentives stakeholders have to keep the network free from abuse. Absolutely aligned with the current philosophy.
There shal be a formalization of 'the whale experiment' and things of the like. There must be if the platform grows.
If you really mean a layer above steem, i.e. an app on steem, I'm all for that, and in fact have suggested it.
If you're going to define "incentives" so broadly, it's true what you say. Obviously I meant direct reward based incentives, not more general health-of-the-system ideas, which I agree are relevant. Not to be baked in though on a systems level.
The formalization of the whale experiment are really direct changes. We have the current proposal (which is looking like it will become a reality) of the linear rewards curve as a response to this.
Well said.
I really was hoping the HF19 linear rewards was pretty unanimous.
AFAIK it is. Thanks for the discussion! 😊
, you as always.
