RE: Flag Wars?! Ohhhh I'm Coming 2x as Hard for ALL of you!! **PLEASE WATCH STEEMIANS**
It's not possible as there would be someone who had to decide to give it.
The whole thing is that he didn't earn. First point, he trades votes, so he gets high rewards on everything he makes. And second, nobody has earned anything on here before the 7 days are over and it's paid out. It's intentionally like this, or every vote could be paid to the wallet directly. It's a process where the community decides how big a portion of the pool a post should receive.
An upvote assigns something more to that post, and all other posts get a little bit less.
A downvote assigns a little bit more to all other posts, and that post gets something less.
None of the two is bad, only maybe for some peoples egos.
I think it's because I'm technically challenged that I don't get it but I do appreciate you trying to help me understand.
Maybe the curating person(s) who gave out this type of downvote could also be the person(s) who gives the tickets (fines) instead. Same job different penalty. We're here to create. Vote on that and give out tickets when you find someone "jaywalking".
Well, that way it would be technically possible of course.
But the whole idea behind steem is that the "best" content (evaluated by the whole community) gets the most rewards. The pool is limited, everything someone assigns to himself or his friends or family isn't available for anybody else. The fine could be put in the pool again, but that would give those who have the highest rewards the biggest part of it again.
Seems overly complicated and counterproductive to the goal of the platform. To rank posts by quality, it needs to be possible to take off rewards which then get assigned to everything else.
Thank you.
