Hi @gandhibaba

I don't think it is a good decision to centralize curation in the hands of a few people.

What I mean is that every user should have a chance to apply to become part of "curation program" and as a default every user would be accepted.

However it would be a privillage. Not a right, which everyone would have (the way it is now).

It's easy to remove such a provillage from abusers, comparing to removing someones right to carry on with abuse.

What's the essence of holding SP when you can't vote with it and earn some rewards from the reward pool?

I agree. Perhaps you didn't fully understand my idea. Majority SP holders would still have an opportunity to upvote others. As long as they are part of curation program. If they would be reported as abusers and verified by central authority to indeed be abusing this platform - then this privillage would be removed.

And I think that curation rewards have nothing to do with fighting abuse.

Curation rewards are the way people are milking steem and hive. And if both chains will not find way to do something about it - then both chains will face extreme challenges in the future.

Steemit Inc should empower an account to hunt for abusers and flag them appropriately. Cheers!

Currently it seem that STINC is VERY against downvoting.

Yours, Piotr
