RE: Downvoted out of childish revenge
From the whitepaper:
Eliminating “abuse” is not possible and shouldn’t be the goal. Even those who are attempting
to “abuse” the system are still doing work. Any compensation they get for their successful
attempts at abuse or collusion is at least as valuable for the purpose of distributing the
currency as the make-work system employed by traditional Bitcoin mining or the collusive
mining done via mining pools. All that is necessary is to ensure that abuse isn’t so rampant
that it undermines the incentive to do real work in support of the community and its
currency.
Abuse that affects the value of STEEM/SBD and the success of the platform is discouraged.
Thank You, though (through my eyes anyway, the short time I have been here) it sure seems their interpretation of "rampant abuse" is fairly loose considering I see more of it than I do legitimate promoting (in fact, the more successful of the questionable ones can post complete spam and their network will support it with their upvotes and comments etc. - it's not even about content any more so much as it is about controlling a Network of Accounts really).
At least there seems to be more and more exposure and resistance to it, yet if it amounts to nothing it's just playing tag (and let's face it, one person controlling multiple accounts of high value can crush even a large band of resistant others... and do we really think those resisting should have to use up their voting power flagging or suffer being flagged for exposing abusive people? Seems the ones suffering the most are the newcomers who have barely anything to build on to begin with).
HOLY SHIT WE ARE ENCOURAGED TOO CHEAT!! Wow this is awesome so guys you have any ideas? I think getting 50 accounts then I write a upvote and down vote bot and use the hierarchy of comments to push the rewards out of comment section to the author? or out the large post comments into my comment?I only have a rough idea but that is possible?
If that is how you interpret it and you have the equipment and know-how to achieve it.... the only thing to stop you is whether the Community will use their voting power and influence to stop you or not, whether they join you or ignore you or fight you would remain to be scene (though, from my observations, you would be more likely to find extensive support and even those willing to join your Network rather than finding any resistance in those willing to sacrifice their voting power and Reputations to fight and expose you).
