RE: Reward Pool Rape: Downside of Steem Blockchain innovate nature Or Abuse of Free will?
It's tough to ascertain what would be the best action simply because it's a medium that's getting very popular .
If you create a new rule limiting everyone to 4 posts...wouldn't the go around be... create another handle on Steemit?
If anything that could also open the floodgates to people doing this.
It's quite the dilemma to be honest.
On one hand you want to folks to express themselves in a decentralized forum (which to myself supercedes Twitter/FB by a mile)
On the other limit abuse of all sorts by limiting post quantity.
its a tough call.
great topic btw @charles1
Good point indeed hence the open discussion. However doing nothing is no solution
Doing something is important.
It is just important not to do something just so you can say you are.
Come up with a possible idea. Then start doing mental experiments.
See if you can come up with ways around this. See if it impacts the experience on the site negatively, keeping in mind people like to post in different ways.
The problem with MOST ideas I've come up with and other people have come up with is it is easy to find a way around them.
In general this is as simple as using multiple accounts.
So while we DO need to do something, it is going to take some serious out of the box thinking.
Good points indeed, thanks for your suggestions and I hope thathe witnesses will join you and come up with a workable solution
The problem really is that none of us have come up with a solution yet. People have quickly tossed some "solutions" out there, but those are generally very easy to get around and might make the code more complex, performance worse, overall experience worse, while not actually stopping the intended practice because people get around it. Sometimes they even open the door to worse exploits.
This is a VERY challenging problem.
Ultimately I think we are trying to find a programatic way to solve the problems of human nature.
As far as I know no one has solved those problems throughout recorded history.
We can resist them, we can be vocal about them, we can try to be a positive example standing against the negative, but we cannot truly eliminate it.
The potential for these faults to rise lies inside each of us.
Definitely @charles1,doing nothing isn't a choice as well.
To make this community last a long time...something does need to be done in regards.
The more i think about it, creating a way to separate quality vs quantity posts might work.
(for example,limiting the meme posts not the photography posts.)
This is definitely a discussion i'll be watching all day.
Good point, however those people posting memes might feel cheated isnt it? which is not right because we are suppose to be in an uncensored platform
