RE: Really? No One? (Vote-Buying/Selling Debater Requested)
Let me give you a hint on that paradox. I am not a panda in real life. My online persona is different that my real life. I will post that in my introduction post which I plan to do in 15 days.
For the curation thing, the problem is not with the current logic. Current logic is fine but its set in stone. You can calculate everything down to last cent. How about it had a random multiplier. Bots won't be able to replicate that. Not huge but something that can sway curation by 10%. Also give priority to the number of views and comments and chain of comments. If a post is really good, it should have conversations. Like we are having now.
Steem had the objective of gamification of social media. That is going well but now everyone understands the rules too well. Shaking it up will make it interesting again.
Forgive me but I do not so easily trust over the internet, so for all I know, you truly are a panda are now trying to deceive me- which is exactly what a panda pretending to be a human would do in this situation, which is even more evidence that I don't think I should ignore so easily.
With that said, you have some great ideas for a panda. I can see how the multiplier angle could suppress abuse, but it might also turn this place into a casino.
I wish we would stop with the gamification, because it leads everyone to believe this is a game. It is what perpetuates this feeling of competition, and what makes us adversaries who are so easily able to steal from or make selfish decisions that hurt the rest of us. If we remove gamification, and remind people that life is not a game, perhaps then we will all remember that we're on the same side.
Thats hilarious.
My whole following (of 5 people) is built around dissecting and beating the system so I would hate for it to go. That's really the only reason I post here (except for the money of-course) because I like figuring out things. Competition is kind of unnecessary, because no one is putting their own money in. Everyone is getting paid from a reward pool. But perspective is hard thing to get right.
