RE: Proposal: Make Tags Useful in Steemit | Copy LinkedIn

in #steemit • 8 years ago

Interesting proposal...

If upvoting tags is to be incentivised... (Which to work I think it needs to be otherwise the article won't appear in the relevent tags) how do we prevent abuse of this? Like sockpuppet accounts upvoting tags from their other accounts...

    A couple of different ways:

    1. reputation - your tag votes would hold more weight the higher your reputation. Also, all votes after your vote on a tad would increase your reputation
    2. -1 votes - of you think a tag does not relate to a post you can -1 it. If your reputation is greater than those before you then the tag goes into - territory

    So is not th necessarily the number of votes but the number of reputation-weighted votes.

    There could be restrictions on voting on tags and adding tags below a certain reputation.
