What about a category "lost and forgotten", showing posts older than 3 days, that didn't get a vote until then?

That's cute :-)

With regards to votes on comments, I'd even go one step further: self-voting should become expensive! Whenever one decided to vote their own articles or comments it should be punished, directing 50% of the allocated MVESTS back to the rewards pool - or even to a seperated pool which could be used for Steem promotion, to finance meet-ups or whatever community building events.

I really believe we need to force people to think more about the community and less about themselves.

From my point of view, Steemit will not solve these problems, it's gonna be the SMTs.

I'll be off surfing now (waves in real life, no computers) - yeeeehaaa! :-)
