RE: OLD, NEW RULES

in #rules5 years ago

I agree with the sentiment but would prefer an explanation for flagging. I think past management had too many stubborn beliefs about how stake should be used and what content should be rewarded, and instead of fixing the problem with code they caused problems by demanding everyone conform to their social values which resulted in tribal warfare. Ultimately a software design that allows bad behavior is flawed, and instead of trying to discourage user behavior by force (downvotes) we should encourage user behavior by software design. If there is too much spam, let's consider ways in which we could invite better user behavior instead of spending all day trying to track it through clumsy interfaces to downvote. How about switching voting mana to allow a 1 vote per day instead of 10? That would get encourage smaller wallets who can suddenly achieve a dust vote threshold of $0.04 and reduce the problem of spam. I'm not married to that idea, it's just an example of trying to encourage better user behavior by code design instead spending all day tracking spam.
