I like you attitude and awareness Steve. Your a good man. I can tell.
But I think that if we don’t want people to rank their comments and other people’s comments it shouldn’t be built into the code. Putting together a human task force so enforce a policy that isn’t supported by the actual code is foolhardy and unfriendly at best.
I have seen to much of what @hivewatchers and @spaminator have been up to to go along with their approach to dealing with (yes!) very important issues.
How things are implemented matter just as much as how those things are identified. Having human elements tasked with something that code could automatically and easily do is only harming the blockchain and it’s community of people.
Labeling things as self voting does little to address the fact that it is lawful by code to rank our comments for higher visibility. It has little to do with more than that.
These entities have no right to tell us what we can or can’t do as owners of it is hard coded into the actual code.
If they want to change this about how the blockchain operates their efforts would be far better spent implementing that change at a fundamental level.
Therefore... there is a reason why the code operates the way it does... and any effort by a group of humans attempting to police and self administe”justice” on our blockchain is harmful and a deterrent and a detriment to all success on this blockchain.
This has very clearly got to stop.
