RE: Promoting Posts - should we be shunning Randowhale, PAL and Whaleshares users? Shameless self promotion
I can't agree with the discipline part but the rest sounds like a good idea. I've already come across a good post concerning the matter of naming and shaming those who are upvoting their own comments purely for financial gain.

I don't think it's right to force anyone to do anything but while those at the top end of the steemit platform have an influence in one way, the rest of us have a different kind of influence that we can choose to put to use whenever we feel it is necessary.
I fully understand where you are coming from tbh, it doesnt feel right to enforce to get the desired behaviour but if we keep commenting on the system there are appropriate tools within the system to deal with it too. Still feels a little wrong to me, I kinda wish i could just sit there and upvote myself all day with a bit of money to back it up too, but I know its just not sustainable
thanks for sharing that post by the way, I like that its being talked about a fair bit, I think it will be resolved soon enough with all the great minds on it xD
No problem buddy! I hope so too. Tbh though, I think we have to accept that there will always be someone trying to abuse the system, whatever that system may be.
Take it easy @sols!
