RE: Introducing Smackdown Kitty
Maybe you're unaware of the potential scale of self reward here though. Look at this reward for self voting, and on through the thread.
This articles is not very defintitive on what measure @smackdown.kitty would take to address the "problem".
This is a fair point. I usually advocated not quite linear rewards, but not quite squared, so a non-integer power between the two might have been better.
But a more radical solution may be required. I would like to hear brighter minds discuss this, but perhaps disabling self voting at the blockchain level is an option.
I think completely flat rewards is a good thing, and I am a big believer in continuity - I don't want to see this new reward scheme rolled back because the previous situation was unacceptable, by so badly excluding new users from seeing any reasonable rewards. Automatically the old scheme was prejudicial against new users. As a veteran I can say that it wasn't until I was over 1000SP that it started to look decent. Now, it's too high, if people 100% upvote their own. And this is taking away from what they can upvote to others also.
Indeed, disabling self votes entirely seems to make the most sense
Perhaps in a world where you can't create a new account and transfer to it in 3 seconds, with the same level of technical skill required to create your initial account in the first place?
