Suggestion to add stars on users account who are whales
One debate these days on steemit is knowing who is a whale and most users do not really get this concept.
Spammer crawl about on userS ation from reputation 50, and above believing they are whales.
Most times, people always go about asking you if you are a whale because you have stayed longer than a year.
However this trend needs to be adjusted, and properly adressed.
MY SUGGESTION.
However my suggestion is simple, the tab in the header of a users who eventually hits steemit's requirement for whaleship should be have stars on his/her profile, and this also should be included in the steemit whitepaper.
Here is a screenshot of how my intended star on whale profile looks like:
This settles the "who is a whale" mumbo jumbo topic.
CONCLUSION.
With this said, a lot of headaches and hastle of the whale curiosity will cease.

how will the star function? trust me people will somehow find a way to manipulate the stars and will increase the ranking
It will be defined by the steempower not your reputation, thank you
Steem Power can be easily increased through investment.. which I believe will cause more spam.. because the first thing any investor will want is to recover his money.. therefore more spamming and less curation for quality contents
It doesn't matter, if steempower is delegated it does not change the fact it has made the user a whale, a whale is a whale, th question of who is a whale needs addressing
oh have you checked

There are already third-party tools that people who really care can use to determine if somebody is a whale. I'm sure somebody could also write some browser extensions that pull SP information and put stars.
However... spam comments and other Steem issues are not coming from whales, they are targeted at whales. Putting stars on the profiles of whales would not improve the problem, but would actually make it worse as people would not have to work as hard to identify which users to target with their spam.
If any user around for more than a year is now getting spam because new users don't know how to determine who is actually a whale, that just spreads the spam around, making it so the actual whales get less of it. If anything, that is a good thing (not that there is spam, but that less of it gets to the people who will have the most impact if they decide to fully divest because of the spam problem).
I believe you are coming from the right intention, but doing this would have very bad impacts and very different impact than you think.
Of course it may but that doesnt mean its can be tolerated, its high time steemit have rules and their enforcer.
That a girl is naked doesnt spark the urge for you to rape her. Im just using an anecdote, however spammers will still be on steemit with or with my suggestions. The solution is to flush them out by making rules and keeping here spam free
