RE: [Poll] Your Opinions on Hardfork 17 Features
Don't like just removing it. I think it should be based on rep. This would allow established members to post more while keeping spam down from people just doing copy/paste fishing for votes.
Reputation is not a consensus level feature of the blockchain. Meaning it is derived from state, but does not impact state. We have no plans on making it consensus. There were bugs in the bandwidth rate limiting algorithm that have since been fixed. Normal use should not be affected, but spamming most definitely will.
That might be a good next step - but I think removing it and seeing what happens might be a first good step!
People with bots posting thousands of youtube vids a day comes to mind.
I believe there's a second layer of limitations using the "bandwidth" values associated with each account that would hopefully prevent this.
Though I seem to remember somewhere that was getting removed as well. It would be nice to have some clarity on what would prevent this when the post rate limit is removed.
I agree @jesta
Good idea @fubar-bdhr. More rep = the more you can post
