RE: Daily Flag Report (2018-04-10)
Upon closer inspection:
Total amount of rewards [potentially] returned to the reward pool in the past 24 hours:
$68.65[?]
This calculation seems based on all the down-votes "potential" negative rewards impact. In the case of @cuddlekitten far less than $7.4 have actually been removed. As a matter of fact, less than $1 has been returned from the kitten's rewards.
85 comments have received 42 upvotes from various users in the community - that said, it also shows the kitten isn't received as spam by too many!
- the average upvote size was 4,745,035,349 RShares (~$0.014)
- total open rewards were ~$0.572
which has been downvoted like so:
- each comment was flagged with ~25,000,000,000 negative Rshares (~$0.075)
- total potential impact -$6.459
This analysis is only based on the stats of @cuddlekitten. In the case of other accounts being flagged like the @newsteemians example where each individual flagged comment had a $0.70 pseudo-self-vote by @gaman the numbers in the OP are quite accurate!
Kudos on that one!!
A helpful bot that brings smiles to the userbase (especially with a living breathing human interactive admin) is not a burden but a contribution in itself (spiritually and technologically) worth payout. I don't understand the logic behind some of the crusades. It's like, attack first, apologize later? I appreciate the idea of reducing phishing links but if an automated message contains no link or the word dot, it should not be a priority in the first place imo. Why is the number of comments more important that the quality of comments? It took an hour and a half for a phishing link to get downvoted on my page but we're downvoting kittens and foreign speakers who write short sentences. Smh lol omg
I guess our overlords would call it "collateral damage" ;)
While I also do appreciate the initiatives around "cleaning" steemit from abuse like reward-farming, scams and phishing... the self-proclaimed warriors-for-good around here are too often found on the bordlerlines of becoming abusive themselves...
ah well... we're all just people with egos and a limited attention span after all ;)
So you are the genious behind cuddlekitten ? 😺😺😺😸😸😸😸😸😸😼😼😼😽😽😽😽
heh... lol... yeah... I'm the "evil mastermind" that tries to put cuddles and cuteness into cans...
