RE: A Great Reputation System. That's What We Need.
I think the upvoting and flagging will take us in this direction by design. This is the beauty of Steemit, it cost people where it hurts, in their pockets, if they don't evolve and become better, more considerate bloggers and curators.
I agree that there is an inherent enforcement mechanism with upvoting/flagging and that's why we've started out well and we're in a better position than most open platforms. However as the value of the ecosystem increases the incentives to game the system increase as well.
