RE: Steem Improvement: A GENEROSITY Rank Algorithm - A Method of Increasing Post Quality That Promotes A Reduction of Rewards Pool Exploitation.
It's an interesting idea, and along the lines of a metric I was considering a while ago, but haven't published, which I call 'Votes Dispersion':

Without calculating for all accounts however, this is not currently a nice bounded metric. Once I have a front-end on which I can apply this kind of thing, and a machine learning based spam filter I'll look into it in more detail, but I considered that until then, there's little chance of adoption.
I prefer your term generosity rank, but you must admit it's more political than 'dispersion' ;)
oh yes, i considered numerous words - including 'vote spread' and another witness said he already had a similar idea and had used the word 'steemity' - which is a nice neutral way of using the language.
i chose generosity as it is a hearty kind of word and emotions are what make the world go round, not money - contrary to popular opinon ;)
