RE: Should NSFW Content Require Verification (For Copyright)? Minimum Reputation To Post? Part 2 of 2.
There is no way for Steemit Inc (operators of steemit.com) to prevent people from posting whatever they want into this blockchain, regardless of ID or anything else.
Any requirements we place on posting certain types of content are very trivially circumvented by anyone with the desire to do so. We are not gatekeepers of what can or cannot be posted, and if we were to try to act as such, people would rapidly demonstrate to us just how much we are not gatekeepers.
I generally agree with what you are saying. But if you look at /created, I think you'll see that even a trivial level of prevention, like a reputation bar, would stop a rather high percentage of this junk. They're abusing for pennies in most cases, not dollars.
The time required to sock-puppet more accounts isn't a high enough bar at the moment, but it would be if they needed even 30-40 rep to post using the NSFW tag. I don't see why a hard fork couldn't include a restriction like that, hypothetically.
