RE: Another Solution to Dissuade Steemit Abuse/Reward Pool Destruction. The Steemian RewardPool Protection Guild.
Hey @earthnation , I’m not so sure about these ideas. There are a lot of different groups trying to enforce things at the moment, and these groups are fighting each other. For me this mentality of force doens’t really feel right.
If you look at the different groups that are battling each other, you can see that many of them have the same idea as you do. They are all groups that are trying to enforce their own vision of justice. Of course, there is no consensus between them about what exactly is just, and they keep fighting.
The solution that I see does lie in an organized effort, but more in making things transparent. Currently, the system is transparent, but only those that are mathematicians can understand it, really.
I feel that every day a list should be published, call it a top 100, of those who make the most. That list could say how much they make on a weekly basis, give a rating for content value, and mark if they have bots or self voting. In that way, the current dynamics would become more transparent for everyone. You could even give everyone a score based on these things, to see who are the biggest givers and who are the biggest takers. (Post a new list every day but decline payout)
I really feel that trying to enforce something through a group is a way of the old; the solution lies in transparency for everyone.
Love and Light,

We perceive the core root of the fighting to be the lack of consensus in the Steem Community on what abuse is. Without more structure to the culture of Steem, this level of fighting will continue to occur because of the nature of anarchy.
Decentralized autonomous organizations use the best elements of the anarchist culture, along with the best elements of democratic culture, and tribal council culture.
By truly listening to one another we will find the common grounds on which we all agree. From that place we can create change. Otherwise; we will most likely continue to see what most often happens in anarchy, there will be a constant struggle for dominance and control.
We believe this platform will flourish to a much higher degree if the minnows are more supported. The culture of endless self-upvoting does not benefit this platform nearly so much as one that encourages those with significant steem power to regularily find and curate good content.
Hi again @Earthnation, I fully support the vision you see of a more organized platform. I also think that through dialog consensus will be found, and more fairness will come. I completely agree that the self-voting is not helping to equally spread the funds.
I see that the path to this consensus lies in more transparency. When people can clearly see reasons to act differently, to find a different structure, they are more motivated and more willing to do so.
To give you an example, many people currently vote on posts from people that make profit from accusing others of stealing. It is not clear to them what is really happening.
I don’t have the resources and technical knowledge to make a daily list of income and added value from different users myself, but I offer it as an idea that could be implemented by others. Preferably, this would be a group of experienced users that have the right technical knowledge and the reputation.
We love the solution you have offered @verbaldancing. Transparency and communication are the pillars of healthy community.
Much appreciation for your skill in dialogue. You write as if you had NLP training.
Thanks @Earthnation!
I didn’t have such training but have dived deeply into my discovery process called Verbal Dancing
More such posts are in the making
We'd like to emphasis that rather then "dishing out our version of justice" as you put it @verbaldancing, We are discussing the creation of a space to discover what the population and the leaders of Steem think Steem Justice is.
