It's good to know that community leader see the problem, trying to find the solution and asking for opinion (that's how I read your proposal). I bet we will have to get back to the discussion after the hardfork. There are many ideas in comments how to improve the system, here is mine:
- anonymous downvotes
- increase the downvote mana to 100% of upvote mana (both with same rebuilding rate)
- after every downvote burn tokens instead of sending them back to reward pool
I also think that anonymous downvotes would be helpful. But while it may be possible to do it, there's no obvious way to do so. I will give it some thought though, since I need to solve a related problem for the reputation/rating system I want to develop: I want there to be a way for people to report negative ratings without being the potential subject of retaliation. I do have some preliminary ideas along those lines, but I'm not sure how easily they can be translated to Hive's reward system.
I agree, reputation system needs to be replaced. Waiting for your ideas and post. The simplest/temporary fix would be the current system which will calculate account activity just for the latest 30 days
I think anonymous downvotes would dramatically improve this system. The reason auto curation on crap can happen is because non-whale users are never going to downvote a post that will harm some whale. If downvotes were anonymous curation could actually work the way it should, in both directions.
Yes, I agree.
Anonymous downvoting will improve the system so that non-whales will get encouraged to downvote without the fear of retaliation from bigger accounts. @blocktrades
I agree on anon downvotes, would be a game changer. Not sure how it's possible.
