Personally if it was my own tribe I would do the following and people can like it or not but it's aim is to protect the platform. As much as everyone screams for decentralization it always results into a cesspool of negative and wildly crazy crap that people seriously don't need to be seeing or doing.
One of these two
- Total removal of the ability to downvote
- Or making people pay for the downvote
With
- One or a few curation accounts which find quality content and upvote it but also downvote or "mute" repeated offenders who are spamming and taking advantage of the system.
I'm sure that will spark some outrage but honestly for the most part it has to be done as a truly decentralized system just doesn't work because of human nature. I have yet to ever see a real decentralized project take off instead it's taken advantage of by greed, porn, abuse and overall negativity.
A downvote should cost as much as an upvote, IMO, I agree with you, If someone wants to take away, it should also cost them!
I agree. I would like to see Hive return to that model; however, based on feedback I've received from those with large HIVE stakes, the chance of that happening is about zero. It seems to be a sacred cow to them.
The answer, imho, is strong tribes with strong tokenomics (like POB) that can operate 'on their own' and with their own rules.
People who love their DVs can join pro-DV tribes; people who think DVs should be reserved for illegal and objectively wrong behavior can join tribes that espouse those views.
I see, I admit I like the POB tribe very much. Not feeling the hive group much.
They carried their thinking over from steemit. POB is fresh.
I like a fresh mindset.
You have upvoted the wrong comment
I was pissed and stoned bro. What you want me to do? A somersault? I love you my New Zealand buddy, in a non gay way. Not that I think gay is wrong lol, see I can do woke crap :-)
Yes do a somersalt and post a selfie!
I think @shepz1 hates downvotes as much as you and I do, but hates rules even more (at least that was my impression based on a later comment @shepz1 made).
@shepz1, just to clarify, you voted "No". If that is not what you intended, you can unvote the "No" comment and upvote the "Yes" comment.
I was pissed at the time, drunk on football lol, what ever I thought was then. I let it stand. I still hate rules though.
I fully agree with that. ONLY ONE DV per day is the biggest flaw of the current system.
I would be happy to have a possibility to pay from my own pocket, to have more DV's than one.
Either pay in RC's, or even in plain liquid tokens.
In fact - as many as I can afford to pay.
Agreed, then it would make people think before they down vote. As it costs them. I IMO think it would balance the mindset and stop the group think "down vote him or her because"
^^^^This ^^^^
Fully agree
