RE: Why Hardfork 0.20.0 Should Start At Utopian.io: Time For True Steemitizens To Speak Up!
Hey @eurogee,
While it is definitely your right to share thoughts about any matter that concerns you, yet I believe you are unable to see the big picture, and this being because you are not involved in the daily moderation (curation) activities that our utopian team goes through on a daily basis - being a supervisor I have hands on experience with this, and most importantly the huge amount of abuse and "milking the system" activities that we see.
We are constantly faced with duplicate accounts, plagiarized content, stolen tutorials, pointless promotions, machine and incorrect translations,...to name a few, and those at times require drastic measures.
For visibility, and as a quick example, we have seen people promoting projects they have no clue about (2, 3, or 4 projects a day) nor that it would benefit neither the project nor the target audience, and hence causing more harm than usefulness to the project itself, and to steemit/utopian image (even legally this could backfire).
I am sure that is not what you would like to see happen, you know being a steemit-ambassador myself and a utopian supervisor, that's not the image I want to show or have about steemit and utopian :)
We are putting our utmost efforts into making the rules as fair to all, but also making sure to only reward the most valued, otherwise those who truly deserve will not get the reward they should be, and the vote power/reward pool will be abused. Have you seen something similar like this in steemit recently? :)
True, there will be times were good efforts will not be rewarded due to stricter rules, there is no such thing as a perfect system or rules, yet unfortunately that is a difficult situation were we hope won't happen too often.
Utopian rules are a continuous work in progress, and the team is in constant brainstorming about improving them, suggestions are always welcome.
Thanks you for such a detailed response my friend @mcfarhat. You are one of the few steemians I have great respect for. However, I do have some valid reasons to Disagree with you in this case, with all dues respect.
This is why I maintain that a standard should be out in place before any promoter is rewarded with say $60 worth of upvote. Utopian-io team can come up with something like...
Before a visibility post on steemit.com is accepted, the promoter must introduce 10 people and guide them to hit 30 reputation score
Now that above is a Reasonable target and anu one who wish to participate can go head and participate with a clear vision of what to deliver and amount to earn.
If 10 person do this in a day, that's 100 new persons introduced to steem ecosystem. With time, here will beehive of activities by people buying or selling steem. This whole thing will have positive impact on the price of steem cryptocurrency.
The current rules do not encourage the growth of this platform.
I am against it sire
@eurogee
@eurogee I never meet you before and have never visited your blog before, but I respect you from the way you address this.
I believe if @elear see to this rule and suggestion you bringing up..it will help the community along way..seriously with all the rules implemented in utopian-io contributors are withdrawing from contributing to open source projects.
I really buy the idea of bringing in 10 people and guide to reach a reputation of 30 and with that you will know how much you will be paid for it.
I had long suggested this but their unjust stance wouldn't let them see it. Steemit.com is a global project. How can a clique of people be preventing a way to make it more visible to potential investors and bloggers. This place stincks! Enough of these injustices!
Thanks for your valuable feedback @mcfarhat!
