RE: Proof of Consent of Participants and the Danger Click-bait F'U Posts.
@klye, I support you very much as a friend and supporter of steemit.com; this thing may well be in beta but, as I have often said, it could be better. This is a simple manipulation of votes. If you are a big name, you get votes, whether you put up a recipe for tomato ketchup or a C&P of a news story.
Creating an internal competition is a clever idea; it would be even cleverer if there were a bit more thought put into it. Here is the catch:
We know, don't put onto the internet anything you want to erase; you cannot! Equally, don't do on the internet anything you don't want to have aired on 60 minutes. Can you imagine the furore?
"Photos of 16 year old girl posted on social media site for lurid beauty contest!"
By all means, have a laugh but please don't put the whole thing at risk by being idiotic!
Namaste!
<3 Thank you man. While admittedly I jumped the gun on part of my post that triggered this one a large portion of what I said still holds true. You've got a point with the big names thing.. Once the whale types figure they can nab up curation rewards and they all notice they are voting on the same user it just becomes an endless cycle of the same old same old.. I certainly don't want this to happen pitting users with one another. Sports is one thing.
It could be sensationalized far worse than I went at it.. I don't really know what direction we're headed in on Steemit to be honest. With some modifications I'd love to see steemsports and steemgames continue.. I can say that much.
