RE: Working Group Election Process | Important Town Hall Election Information
i dont see how ginabot verification would prevent fake accounts from multiple votes its only a fraction of cent to verify
example i have 5 accounts currently registered with ginabot
It’s a step implemented to help prevent, but manual checking will be done as well. It’s a tricky thing to completely remove the possibility of. We just hope a election for a non leadership role won’t bring on too much multi account voting.
Future elections will be done in a different manner and believe that process will weed out multi accounts much easier, a just aren’t quite there yet.
i dont see how it prevents much maybe forcing someone to join each account manually
it would be more effective to restrict discord access by Phone (SMS) verification as the cost to abuse is 100 times more
leadership role or not it would give a platform to someone to promote themselves being seemingly reputable by means of "votes" from the community
Yep, lots of wonderful feedback and advice for the current volunteer working group 🙂
I have the exact same concern as you, and we are doing all we can to prevent it. We would love to hear from you in the feedback channel.
SMS is too prohibitive of a condition and I suspect few would be willing to do it. Plenty of complaints about even the old steemit sign up flow for this reason.
how is an AUTH code by SMS prohibitive?
it is one thing the majority of the world would have access to especially if they are using the internet already
also discord provides this service
the problem with steemit inc signup was there was only a handful of people doing and there was little demand anyways since the majority of accounts were made in 2 months when bitcoin was over $10k with most being inactive
without an efficient means to show individual users it would be as well to have no vote and just declare the ones with the most accounts
Well I'm just citing a fair amount of complaints on Reddit about it and also people generally unwilling to do phone verification. Besides, it didn't stop faucet accounts either if you recall.
maybe for a standard non income based mainstream site users might have a problem but for a site that is based on creating value and having an economy every step should be taken to ensure quality is maintained rewards are managed and to prevent exploitation.
i suspect the purpose for a good amount of accounts created by steemit inc was to farm rewards also to inflate user numbers
but that isn't much different than those in the top 20 witness with over thousand accounts used to farm the rewards.
Please consider http://votemobile.xyz for future election.
