RE: Steemit.com Development Updates (GitHub Report)

in #steemit9 years ago

Thanks Tim!!

Is "Inappropriate rewards distribution" a good idea? Obviously the flag is subjective anyway (just like upvoting is). But this seems to add a degree, IMO. I don't use it anyway (except once, for libel in a comment). But that struck me.

Do you know what's involved in RSS feeds? I know Streemian provides them as a service, but am not sure if there's a way to get them directly from Steemit. Or maybe the ability could be added?

Thanks for all your hard work.

Sort:  

It's a good discussion to have. It is listed in the whitepaper as one of the reasons to flag, and users are flagging for that reason - so it made sense to add it as a reason that people flag.

There is a request for RSS via Steemit, but it is not a high priority.

The language isn't fully vetted, I think inappropriate is an inappropriate word because it implies objectivity when it is voters opinion that other posts deserve more.

Good to know. Thanks for the info!

FYI, I updated the post to include: [Edit] Note @dantheman indicated in the comments, that this wording is subject to change.

Thanks. I read the Whitepaper a long time ago, but haven't kept up with any changes to it in the last couple months... if it's been adapted. Since downvoting isn't really on my radar, I didn't recall anything from the wp on it. :)
Maybe we can get RSS bumped up. Whadaya think? What would I/we need to do to get more attention for it (me and github aren't familiar with each other ;o) ).

If you have feature requests, you should email [email protected]. He is the project manager. I can tell you though, that anything like this is going to take a back-seat to larger (more important) features that they are working on.

Is it a possibility to have a down vote option separate from flagging that doesn't remove visibility from a post?
Something that would redistribute a small amount of the rewards back into the reward pool?

Or is that to a moral fallacy?

It is something they are looking into as a long-term change.
