MY PROPOSAL
I know thus sounds weird but I'll share it nonetheless.
Since much of the explosion in the population of crypto users, specially on steemit is motivated by greed rather than and more than by the need to create quality and valuable content, an internal organism should be put in place to ensure that user's posts are screened for content before it can be upvoted on or allowed to float on the feeds. Where a post fails to meet certain requirements, it could be restricted to only a limit view or discarded outrightly. While this might sound like an infringement on the right to self expression, it nonetheless has the potential to checkmate the amount of scrap people post all in a bit to make money, to get rich in no time.
@cheetah is trying hard, I grant. But let's take the game up from merely finding plagiarized works to dealing with less valuable posts.
If people knew that their posts will be automatically curated if their post was quality enough, i imagine the end of greed and selfishness on Steemit and other blogs. For instance, the use of voting bots has become so popular these days because it's almost becoming the only way to make easy money from scrap posts. Let's find a way of introducing a mechanism that monitors EVERY single post that appears on Steemit. If it's high value and meets the requirements, then it gets an automatic upvote of maybe 20 SBD and if it doesn't, it could be flagged.
Thanks @liberosist
I'm afraid that's not how a blockchain works. Just like you can't screen Bitcoin payments and refuse to let people transact, you can't just screen anyone's content on Steem. It's a completely free and open place where anyone can publish whatever they want. That said, when Communities are released, they can moderate the content on their community. Mind you, the blockchain will continue to have the post on it, but it won't be visible on the particular community.
Not entirely so. I guess @cheetah screens posts, doesn't it? We could use the same basis to check for content.
All Cheetah does is drops a comment. People can continue to upvote those posts if they want.
