I don't have a problem with self-voting as I already stated in one of my comments here https://steemit.com/steem/@benjojo/my-perspective-on-the-value-of-steem-power#@emble/re-benjojo-re-marillaanne-re-benjojo-my-perspective-on-the-value-of-steem-power-20170811t161255178z
As long as the system is broken, you can't ask anyone to comply. I just told @personz that he can't discriminate, and he has to give equal rights for all self-voters including @randowhale. And I know that nobody wants to start with you because you are not the type that doesn't take revenge and with 1000% more, so he should stop his project unless he really means it and would treat everyone equally
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Actually @randowhale isn't "self-voting", @randowhale never votes on posts or comments by @randowhale. It is other accounts not directly tied to that service.
What's a difference? It's the same owner or group that use 1 account to upvote another.
@emble, first, i'm over it. I'm self-upvoting without explaining anything to anyone because these peeps have no idea whatsoever how important it is to self-upvote in many circumstances.
second, I have the impression you might be slightly misled.
... but hey, if i've managed to make a list somewhere, I'm all for it.
I am aiming to hand out 1000's of upvotes in the next 10 days. I really don't have time to chat about this.
I reject that I "have to" do anything, but show me how I'm not treating everyone equally.
I didn't say that you don't treat everyone equally. I didn't check that, but I will the last few days @randowhale upvotes himself using other accounts, and I didn't see any action. And that's nothing, just look at @berniesanders comments. I don't see there any action either. https://steemit.com/@berniesanders/comments
Please prove me wrong. I will state again that I think that unless Steemit fixes their system, there is no reason to punish self-voters.
We do not "punish" anyone. We vote against their up vote, simple as that. And we only do it for the top most comment self votery voters per day. Previously that was measured by their self vote reward but now we are adjusting for SP. If any account meets this criteria then they will be flagged.
We act in order to affect change on the system. There would be no reason to act against self voters unless the system was insufficient in this area, so you have it backwards.
We're going to keep evolving the algorithm so perhaps the better way for you to go here is look into it and make some suggestions for improvement if you think there should be some. I respond to everyone.
