RE: Self-voting user list since HF19
Good post man. It's important that this stuff gets brought to light. People hopefully adapts their behaviour to something that's more beneficial over the long term.
Self-voting is just destructive for the platform, at least over a certain threshold. I think anything under 10-20% is okay, as it's a way to promote yourself.
You think 10-20% is OK. Other are going to say anything over 0% is a crime. Some will say 50% is OK, others will believe higher.
The solution is appeal to some higher power of central authority to dictate a best and final answer. Kinda not in the spirit of a decentralized platform.
Or publish behavior and let the community decide what is acceptable, by ostracizing those that each individual wants to ostracize
Well obviously it's subjective, I'm just stating my opinion. I personally believe that content should be able to speak for it self, but one of the main hurdles so far is how hard it is to find content.
I do not want any central authority to dictate anything. I think the market will adjust with its own incentives and disincentives. It's a social platform after all, and social norms and 'rules' traditionally has more influence over people's decisions than actual laws and regulations.
So I read your response as - people can upvote themselves if they want, and the market will adjust incentives if they believe that person is being greedy and abusing the system. Sounds right to me
Yepp, basically. Thus post is a good example of the market reacting
mmm Something to ponder about...my feelings is either you do or you don't..if the developers didn't want people upvoting themselves or only wanted a certain percentage of self votes, they should incorporate it into to the program. Just saying..
You're the third person to mention approximately 10%.
