RE: Spam Prevention Proposal: Reputation Based Posting Limits
I concur with your view that "low, highly flagged users on Steem need to be disincentivised."
I think it would be good for post limitation to kick in when an account reputation goes below 25.
E.G.
Reputation 20 to 24.999 gets to make 5 posts a day.
Reputation 15 to 19.999 gets to make 4 posts a day.
Reputation 10 to 14.999 gets to make 3 posts a day.
Reputation 5 to 9.999 gets to make 2 posts a day.
Reputation 0 to 4.999 gets to make 1 post a day.
This will incentivise quality posts that contribute to a colourful and intellectually vibrant platform, and discourage spamming via script bots.
I like the idea of it kicking in below 25. It gives everyone a level playing field, but if you attract the constant ire of Steemians because you're posting spam and junk, then you deserve to slowly have your ability to post nonsense reduced.
Your proposal is a little less aggressive having it apply to reputation less than 25. If this applies to both posts and comments, that would be amazing. It would prevent the constant abusers spamming. Although it wouldn't stop spammers from creating new accounts, that's a hard problem to tackle without targeting a few innocents.
Apologies. I should have been more detailed. My proposal applies to both posts and comments.
