What about changes that simply reduce curation payouts under the current model while we test new models.
Also we suggested a simple rule that curation rewards are only paid out when an author makes an "above average" post (for that author).

In regards to the "above average" suggestion, most likely an author's "replies" to other posts would be much less valuable, but her "blogs" would be more valuable, so a strategy for bots would be: up-vote "blogs", ignore "replies".
Another example: an author is good at writing "funny" posts but not good at writing "serious" posts, so bots vote for her "funny" posts and ignore "serious" posts.
My 2 cents.
That would be correct curation and would add value.
