RE: Ausbitbank Witness Update 17/7/17 (SBD interest changed to 1%)
Busy guy, doing a lot of great things! Keep it up man, the community is thankful.
Exactly what kind of abuse are you looking to flag? If it's a matter of self-voting vs distributing among the community, you can potentially run a calculator to see what percentage of vote power is spent on each and flag once it hits a certain threshold.
Anything over 50 or 60% self vote I personally see as abuse. Some may feel differently.
Thats the tricky question really, figuring out the ethics of interfering between one SP holders exerting their rights as a stakeholder in the network via upvote, and another stakeholder doing the same via flag.
Its a complex issue that goes way beyond simple abuse prevention, I'm glad smarter minds are experimenting with this in public so I can learn how not to commit steemicide here :P
I agree with your method tho, I like to see people contribute at LEAST 50% of their VP to other users..

You know, once we have a guideline and we can agree on this, I think most would be happy to follow it..
and it's simple enough at that point to bot-enforce I assume.. (Robocop is my favorite late sci-fi movie)
I hope we can all agree this is mostly a new issue; it has not been addressed in the FAQ, and probably did not come to the fore until HF19.
This has been an issue since day 1 imo, linear rewards just made the problem WAY worse and easier to abuse.
