RE: Building Mod-Bot: An experimental community moderation tool
I agree that penny4thoughts is a groundbreaking and brilliant idea. I think it should be a fundamental concept to Steem that, in an ideal world, would be optionally done by the blockchain itself.
All of steem is "bought engagement" to some extent. Most people are here for author rewards at this point (Lord knows they're not here for the ground breaking user interface or recommendations systems. Two things I'd like to see improved so Steem is less bought engagement). My father just made a different way of rewarding (by redistributing rewards) a specific type of engagement: that being discussion.
I have a few "time problems" regarding my activity on the Steem. But I promise to keep this comment open and answer it later this week!
With the necessary changes to curb exploitation, I thought this suggestion was great too!
This would make many users realize that interacting on this platform is incredibly important and that it can even be a little lucrative. Then "everyone" wouldn't feel "forced" to post articles at all costs, no matter how poor their content. Maybe the latter statement is a little unfair, but that's how it often feels with the "new generation" of Steemit users, unfortunately.
