I never understood why they always included dead fish to the stats. It's like counting dead people in every election in the category of those who didn't bother to vote.
As for this issue you speak of, I always assumed your voting power should not be used for making "you" profit. No matter how much SP you have, it should only be allowed to reward other peoples' posts.
And in order to minimize the issue of alt-account voting, there should be an extra rule added to the system where you can't vote more times than you comment every day. Meaning, your total votes can never exceed your post number, thus forcing you to be more active than blindly voting without saying a word.
Even if someone spams the same words just to get over this limitation, it will still make it easier to spot spammers via activity history. Also, witnessess should be confirming large rewards before the actual payout. You know, so they can cancel (not downvote) obvious abuses such as spam, self vote, worthless content, and so on.
So you want a centralised authority that can decide what is worthless and what is not? Doesn't seem to align with the goals of a decentralised blockchain too well.
better than letting it go abused and ruin the platform altogether
Hm than we are just not on the same side here. I think we already have enough systems where a central organisation gets to decide things rather that the community.
Dead fish! That's a bit extreme, huh?
We're all pretty alive and talkative. The fact that nobody listens doesn't mean that we're not saying a word :-) Let's give these fishes more room and convert them into real influencers in this network!
That's an interesting point! Had to upvote your comment with 100% though...:-)
Thanks!!
