RE: The rise of the Steemit bots - part 2
Yes I think reputation needs to become more central, and have amuch bigger impact. Block-chains ussually charge for transactions and this counters spam, but steemit does not do this, instead concepts like bandwidth are in play.
I think your rep should impact your bandwidth, 25 rep and above no effect, but as your rep drops your bandwidth should become exponentially constrained.
I also feel this should be the same for downvote impact, so low rep users cant so easily buy STEEM and go on downvote revenge trips.
Thanks for your comment. I like your idea of applying the same bandwith for 25 rep and above, that way the captchas may not be necessary.
AFAIK though reputation is just on the steemit.com web interface, its not part of the block-chain, so other sites based on the chain could by-pass the reputation feature. It would need work from the steem devs to implement.
