RE: LOW-LIFE DOWNVOTING MEMBERS
"but we need some enforcement mechanism to remove scams and illicit material"
Yes, we would need the ability to actually remove posts, not just hide them.
Who would make such a decision? And how would you mitigate the damage potential of a "rogue mod"?
I heard an interview with a fa.cebuk flag-checker recently, they were paid a fractional wage and worked from the Philippines. They said that they were so overworked and borderline traumatized from viewing all the horrendous flagged content, and under pressure to review 1000 flags a day, that they ended up just clicking "denied" repeatedly on all their cases.
"Who would make such a decision? And how would you mitigate the damage potential of a "rogue mod"?"
Such decisions are easy to make (by anyone) if the parameters for violations are clearly defined. First of all, rogue mods would be quickly terminated once a pattern of abuse becomes evident, then to mitigate the damage from a rogue mod, compensate the victim in some manner, perhaps at the expense of the offending mod. Secondly, if the bots are programmed properly, there would be almost no need for mods in the first place. Both Google and Facebook have incredibly sophisticated systems for identifying and removing posts which violate their terms of service. i.e. When was the last time you saw porn on Google or Facebook? Rarely, if ever does such posts get past their respective bots. Of course, I realize that few if any platforms, can possibly expect to match the sophisticated systems utilized by Google or Facebook, but if the desire is there, it can be vastly improved over what it is now.
Yeah, but that New Zealand shooter, "subscribe to pootiepie" video took them several days to clear out... AND they're literally rollin' in cash-money-dollars.
Yo.utube BY ITSELF is raking in more profit than either VIACOM or COMCAST.
What are your "clearly defined violations"?
4 minute story about fa.cebook moderators
"What are your "clearly defined violations"?"
Virtually anything that you want to include in your terms of service, provided that it does not violate some existing law. i.e. You can't set up a public forum, and restrict members from certain ethnic or religious backgrounds from participating. That being said however, I think it's rather clear that many of the forums do that exact thing, but of course, you will not find it in their terms of service.
You're going to need to be slightly more specific.
Are you familiar with the difficulty of defining pr0n?

"Are you familiar with the difficulty of defining pr0n?"
Yes, I realize that! But that should not mean that since "porn" is not easily defined, we should simply ignore it. We have to start somewhere, otherwise it will become so prevalent, that it will not be safe for any minor to turn on any device connected to the internet or to a cellular network. Unfortunately we are getting very close to that point, which no doubt, has already had a major negative impact on today's youth.
Closing our eyes to the problem of "porn" will not make it go away. On the contrary, it will only make matters a lot worse. And if we allow some porn, arguing that it is simply an art form, as some do, how long will it be before there will be those who will be favoring pedophilia, claiming that it too is an art form? Imagine if it was your son or daughter who was being molested by some pervert. There is no time like the present to take action (no matter how small) to help wipe out this sickness.
Ah, not all functioning cultures are frightened by the mere sight of a human body.
I'm pretty certain molestation is a crime, quite distinct from "p0rn".
And I'm also pretty certain molestation is not a new crime.
I've even... Let me find a citation for you,
Here we go, now, don't blame me for this, I'm only interested in the science,

And to think this scumball is a Steemit Witness. What a real piece of garbage he truly is.
Can Steemit do nothing to terminate his account?
That's not really how this works.
Steemit is just an interface.
Steemit could completely go out of business and the steem blockchain would still be accessible from any number of alternative interfaces, like steampeak or busy.org
Marky is a witness, the top 20 witnesses have control of what changes/fixes/updates are made to the functionality of the blockchain.
The witnesses host major nodes.
There are hundreds of witnesses, so even if you sent the top 20 directly to jail, the steem blockchain would still work just fine without them.
Marky is basically like a Senator, or a justice on the supreme court (if there were 20 justices).
You might consider trying to ease back on the ad hominem attacks and accusations.
I've spoken with Marky several times and they seem generally reasonable.
And really, nobody can stop them. So, you're kinda digging your own grave.
Your only chance at all is to try and reason with them calmly.
The Birth of Venus
The Birth of Venus (Italian: Nascita di Venere [ˈnaʃʃita di ˈvɛːnere]) is a painting by the Italian artist Sandro Botticelli, probably made in the mid 1480s. It depicts the goddess Venus arriving at the shore after her birth, when she had emerged from the sea fully-grown (called Venus Anadyomene and often depicted in art). The painting is in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
Although the two are not a pair, the painting is inevitably discussed with Botticelli's other very large mythological painting, the Primavera, also in the Uffizi.
