RE: 100 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 33 - Tackling Abuse on Steem - Part I - What is Abuse?
users should not have a right to enjoy curation rewards as a default. every user should apply to become part of "curator program". And only those approved would be receiving curation rewards.
Tell me you don't mean it. I don't think it is a good decision to centralize curation in the hands of a few people. That will greatly undermine the essence of holding Steem Power. What's the essence of holding SP when you can't vote with it and earn some rewards from the reward pool?
And I think that curation rewards have nothing to do with fighting abuse. Instead, we could code the acceptable number of daily posts into the blockchain. Then, downvotes are needed to check ourselves, provided it is not used maliciously and there is a central authority to remedy any form of victimization.
Also, I think that @Steemitblog and Steemit Inc should empower an account to hunt for abusers and flag them appropriately. Cheers!
Hi @gandhibaba
What I mean is that every user should have a chance to apply to become part of "curation program" and as a default every user would be accepted.
However it would be a privillage. Not a right, which everyone would have (the way it is now).
It's easy to remove such a provillage from abusers, comparing to removing someones right to carry on with abuse.
I agree. Perhaps you didn't fully understand my idea. Majority SP holders would still have an opportunity to upvote others. As long as they are part of curation program. If they would be reported as abusers and verified by central authority to indeed be abusing this platform - then this privillage would be removed.
Curation rewards are the way people are milking steem and hive. And if both chains will not find way to do something about it - then both chains will face extreme challenges in the future.
Currently it seem that STINC is VERY against downvoting.
Yours, Piotr
