#project-smackdown After Action Report, Day 1 - Update: Top Self Comment Voter Flagged This PoststeemCreated with Sketch.

This


will be the first of a regular daily report on what is happening with #project-smackdown and what @smackdown.kitty has been up to, and who she has been swatting.

It is easy enough if you are interested, to simply go to this page, to watch what she is doing: https://steemdb.com/@smackdown.kitty/votes

The first comments I want to make, is that the 101,751 SP, isn't enough to neutralise the top 4 self voted comments, which I will list directly for easy visibility here:

Comments

These are just the ones from the last 24 hours. I encourage you to check out kitty's voting record at steemd or steemdb, so you can see what by the analysis of the last 24 hours of voting activity, is the top 4.

Note, you can see, clearly, that we cannot make her flag any more often at this astronomical amount of SP, without having an ongoing decline in vote power and reduction of effect. These posts are still getting paid more than all my mining rigs (5 high end video cards) are producing in 6 hours.

As it can be easily seen what a massive amount of money is being directed even just towards this top 4 in the last 24 hours, you gotta ask yourself, is this how we want Steem to be issued to people?

I will leave it to the reader to think about this information for now. We are formulating strategies and this is just to give people a view in at the very tip of the iceberg. All who want to contribute ideas, vote power, coding work, or whatever, are invited to visit the primary public chatroom of #project-smackdown:

Update

The account, that won the prize of the most self-rewarded comments prize for today, flagged this post. Here is the screenie for your delectation.

So all the bugs/issues are all fixed? Looks like she is working well and staying busy...

Pretty much, now we are trying to work out how the heck to manage our resources to best effect. Just to be clear, it is the key goal of #project-smackdown to have self votes banned on the blockchain level.

Just bumping a comment to alert you to the fact that the hall-of-famer named in this post just flagged using his giant SP to try and suppress this news

This is nice and all, but won't people just start spamming posts 10+ times per day in order to use up their self votes that way? In fact I feel like that is already happening

The less clicks, the more likely, I would say.

Alright.. i'm no techy and i haven't been following your creation ... i just found this post.. can you explain What exactly the kitty is seeking out.... is it just the negligible / next to None content ?

Here is the original launch message which explains it all. Since then we've decided to change to flag the top 20 comment self voters, ordered by their vote's pending payout, i.e. how much value they add to a comment by voting.

Mother of all smackdowns... I made it about 1/10 th of the way through it... That is the biggest post I have ever seen on steemit... I'll have to get back to it...

No, simply to show people that with a couple of clicks, and a big SP account, outrageous amounts of money can be paid to yourself, for doing nothing for anyone else. This is not immoral, in itself, it simply biases the game against those who value the social benefit.

Thank you!! that actually explains it better for me; and I agree it makes a ton of sense.. I have looked at your offending example posts; they were obviously offering no real content... Following...

Following back as a non-monetary reward I can give to you for your thoughtful engagement :)

By how much did he upvote his comments?

Checkout the stats I prepared to see. It was a lot

So much so that there was still $3 worth of rewards left after a 100% downvote from a 100,000SP delegated to the @smackdown.kitty account. Only whales could have pushed their coments above, in the default trending sort order. This is a real, live demonstration of the problem with justifying self voting as a moderation tool, because abusers need only have more SP, a quantifiable, but not socially valuable property of an account holder's behaviour.

Cool! Just found out about this project! ^_^

This

is a really neat layout trick... lorem ipsum bla bla but it needs several lines of text to look right so I am just going to keep writing. I've got nothing to lose and I've learned a new trick today, so let's just keep going. Unfortunately it doesn't work well in the comments, because the margin-top of the h1 get's in the way...

Can't wait to try this in my next post, though!

So now let's actually read the article :P

edit: on a more serious note... i love you @smackdown.kitty

<div class="pull-left"> <h1> First </h1></div><br /> you need to put that break tag in before the second word, it pushes the first line of text down 1 line so it looks nicer.
<br /><br />

It took a lot of &lt; to make those not get parsed into layout though :) Oh, also don't forget the double break below this block, and a blank line after, like above, or the second paragraph does not have a space between it and the first.

My 100% upvote did little to help I am afraid.

I want to also point out, that if you also flag his posts, that your reputation will kick his reputation down, in some proportion based on your reputation.

We haven't developed a formal plan yet, and we are trying to remain judicious and conservative, but let's just say that it's not our concern if someone decides to flag-trail kitty ;)

great thank you for sharing
