RE: Steemit Update [January 13th, 2025] : Steemit Learning Challenge Season 22 - Week 5
Sorry for the interruption but I have a suggestion in my mind regarding this.
If we set criteria for the minimum reputation then it will also impact the real new users and they will be disappointed and they will not participate in the learning challenges and ultimately we will loose content.
On the other hand if a new account is made by the reward farmer then he/she can increase the account's reputation by getting votes from the bots who vote even on a few words.
So in my opinion to tackle with this issue with the help of only reputation may not be a right approach.
One solution which can handle it we should see if the account is verified or not. The entry from the verified account should be considered as a valid entry and other accounts's entries should not be considered as valid.
Moreover for the best approach to tackle this we can combine reputation and verification of the user for more refinement. In this way we will only get entries from the verified and reputable users who have understood the platform completely before jumping into the learning challenges entries.
These are my a few humble suggestions may these help you.
Thank you 😊
What is a foolproof verification method - that is also non-intrusive?
In this context I was refering to the verification which is undertaking in the newcomers community where the user has to follow the criteria to be verified.
Sorry for the late response.
Going through the Newcomers Community is not mandatory though...
It was all in my mind moreover you know better what do I just gave my ideas regarding this issue of new accounts and rewards farming.
For me reputation is inherent, why exclude a user who has just arrived at steemit or who has been posting for a short time?
If you do that what you will achieve is that new users do not have confidence and credibility in steemit, what could be implemented is an identity verification for those who make life in the weekly challenges, is my humble opinion on the matter.
One method of verification can be a short video in which the user states his or her name, the date he or she joined steemit and the reasons why he or she is participating in a certain challenge.
