Excuse my English but I use a translator.
Very good your post. It has not happened to me what you mention because I always go to the first three posts of a person, but I always asked for the votes out of time. You answered my question, now, is this fair? It does not matter if the user is new or does not know the 7 day rule, the problem is that the post dies in 7 days and it is possible that by very good your post will not be seen until after a month. I think that a post should not die so fast but I share that 7 days for a reward is very good, but steemit should establish a value for the votes out of time, that these will be re-used and saved elsewhere to be subsequently valued in groups of votes. So new and old has opportunity without major losses. For the rest the easiest thing is that the post is canceled to be voted
I haven't discussed this in the analysis above but I agree with you that there should be a longer reward period.
My main reason for this is that the steem blockchain is getting to be a wider set of content platforms than just blogging. For example now there are videos.
I think we want steem to be as wide and flexible as possible to allow all different kinds of content creators to spend their time producing the best content. An an extreme example, take someone producing a 2-hour film. A seven day reward period is unlikely to give the rewards they merit.
The way I would organise this is through a series of weekly payout windows that continue through time - I think this is what you are suggesting above.
The restriction of only being allowed to vote once on any single post would be maintained.
You have fully grasped my idea !! , "weekly payment windows that are maintained over time" could not say it better !! jejejej !!
I'm new to STEMIT, I'm only 3 months old but I also want to take advantage of your post to say that it would be good if the STEEMIT website had a system that warned about the publications that followers make similar to FACEBOOK's, allowing us to quickly visualize the publications of others and get the most out of them before they "die", as well as a list of the contacts that are available but more at hand, this would make it possible to get more out of the platform.
Hi @hojaraskita. Sorry - I missed this one!
I have just started using Steemify, which is an iPhone app that tells you all kinds of information, including when people are posting, or mentioning your name.
You can also use Steemd.com (just switch steemit.com for steemd.com on your blog page, e.g:
https://steemd.com/@miniature-tiger
It's more of a blockchain style crawler but it's useful.
Hope that helps!
