RE: There Is No Voting Time Limit
The voting change kills the joy of the curation game for me. It use to be straight forward. Find early, read, vote and get on with your day.
Now the rules have made voting a convoluted process.
I often catch posts 'early' (I read this post 15 minutes after it was posted). Now I have to engage in an artificial game of deciding do I vote now or wait 15 - 20 minutes?
Often I will see good posts as they go up. It's then worse. Do I wait 10-15 minutes before voting or wait 30 minutes? It just feels like a waste of time to have to revisit posts purely for the sake of voting and getting some benefit.
I think the aim to prevent bots benefitting hasn't worked. As I suspected, the bots have been set to vote automatically around 30 minutes after the posts by certain authors go up and very few votes happen in the first 30 minutes.
It's a double whammy for the genuine curator. Miss out because to the rules or lose out to the bots.
Hope this gets revisited soon!
Me too, I don't see the point in it, I just want to be able to vote on what I like, when I like and I'd love other people to have the same choice.
Sure it's nice to have a small bonus for commenting early, but not for voting, as it places too much importance on the act of voting individually, rather than being part of a vote swarm.

EDIT, Disregard this comment and read my correction.
Thank you for raising this cryptogee. I've been having concerns about it too. I love just voting whenever I'm moved too, wether that's because I think I've found gold or because I want to support the author or making friends or want to reward someone's general effort or give someone new a chance. There are so many positive reasons to vote and getting in the way of that seems like the wrong move. I don't have a suggestion for dealing with the bots though....

HI Nanzo, read my update, I haven't fully understood the changes Original Article - Steem 0.8.0 Released
No problem. I understood the main tenant of your argument i.e. the new voting rules do not really work! I think my points still stand though.
I'm assuming these rules are not retrospective in 0.8.2??
