RE: Self Voting
I believe peer-review is a fine interpretation, but it's also an indirect, emergent property of the protocol, not the direct intent.
But we are promoting the idea of a system level correction.
Does this mean you advocate some kind of on-chain policing of self-votes?
It is the intent, this is clear from the whitepaper. No it's not direct as such, as emergent properties can be planned. Look at any complex system simulation of ants for an example.
I don't know what kind of on chain policing there could be, but I would oppose anything that is not a general rule. Maybe something like @edje 's idea of a committee would be like that. It's not something that I think would work, better to realign the rules to encourage the emergent positivity and mutual benefit.
I'm not sure if you read @rycharde 's post here but I think point 13 is a really interesting idea to reduce the effectiveness of self voting and so-called "circle jerk" behavior, via incentives as opposed to policing.
