RE: Update on @the.masses - Reputation Shattered - Thoughts on Flagging and Censorship
Sure, the very nature of database structure would have to record the IP in order to validate accounts. We are dealing with real money here even though it may not be much.
A simple query could easily show what other account has used thatv IP in the last 24 hours. If I were to code it I'd include much more, and I bet that have as well...
Most people think OS and Browser etc etc, but every preference is also easily captured and stored with every click. Plugins, etc etc...
There are no two computer alike simply because of the mass array of options we all have. Steemit.com isn't blockchain and it's time folks realized that. It's a PHP-SQL pulling from a blockchain.
That blockchain may be immutable but the site is not...
Really great point, thanks!
You're welcome and thanks for the upvotes :)
I'm a big proponent of building in an admin panel here at Stemmit.
What we have now if flag wars, it's nonsense. Even if we rely on whales to come to the recuse with their massive downvotes we still have the annoyance of hidden post.
Plus the whales begin to be attacked in retaliation, so why not just vote in some admins and build a simply panel where once an account has proven itself to be a nuisance it is muted. Bida Bing Bida Bang.
Allow the community to vote for these admins and provide a method of removing them should they abuse that power. Our whales are pretty awesome people from what I have seen but a lot of negative surrounds them because they have acted to protect the community.
So some think they are the bad guys and some have even went so far as to destroy their own reps, hence using the.masses to get their word out...
It's solvable and in the end Steemit will have a rep of simply not allowing trolls...
We'll get there, thanks for listening :)
