RE: The Limit on Conversation Depth Here is Really Really Annoying!

in #steemit8 years ago

I actually don't know why its limited to only 6.

In the whitepaper it says: "Good discussion requires back and forth posting. When you reply to someone else, they get
50% of any payout you receive in that thread. This rule applies up to 6 levels deep. Starting a
big discussion greatly rewards the parent poster.
"

and that's all they say about it, not why. Would be nice to know if it is just something that could be added easily.

Sort:  

It's fine that the rule only applies up to 6 levels deep, but that shouldn't make the conversation have to stop. If I post at level 15 and get rewarded then share that reward with levels 10 through 14 or whatever.

It's funny that the whitepaper mentions rewards going 6 levels deep when the comments themselves only go 5 levels deep. :)

The OP counts as a level. In the original reward-sharing model the original post would get 50% of the rewards from all comments below, and that would continue at each lower level.

That reward sharing was actually removed though. I believe some of the code implementing it is still around and is part of the issue with the reply depth. There may be other issues as well.

I agree the whole depth limit is extremely annoying and will drive some types of content and users away.


I find following conversations becomes much easier on steemd than here.

Depth is a problem I find annoying because you can't start a serious conversation without using stupid tricks to get around depth limitations.
Just wish we could post via steemd.

sometimes i cant reply my followers, even we are in a discussion. so i was wondering when this will be fixed
