Self voting is a very grey area.
My stake my choice.
Now with that. other people have stake and can do what they want with that.
If the choice to self vote becomes punishable. (because it is a self vote) then self voting should be removed as an ability.
The reason I self vote is because I get little attention.
The one thing that I have learned here on Hive. The more HP you have. The more respect you get.
If it is okay for someone with 75 HP to vote their own post with 100%. Then it is okay for someone with 100,000 HP to self vote 100%
In all of this a care must be taken not to criminalize people for actions not criminal.
Are the rewards there for content or for the behaviour of the vote?
Now comes the technicality.
So anyone who has anything to do with the token itself in any way. Coder idea development or any other thing related to the token its agenda and development must also be excluded from receiving a vote from VYB.
As those people control the account. Any vote from that account to any persons working on the project can be considered a self vote.
You've got some great points here. And I will continue to review them as the policy continues to develop as the tools for monitoring will also develop.
I've been reviewing darn near every article here since this tribe has launched. ALOT of people self-vote. Hive allows the self-vote (SV), but not at every level. I honestly couldn't tell you where the DV-deciding line was in Hive other than 9-10% average weight in self-votes over a 7-day period. I find that kind of hard to track on a wide-scale.
That's a clear perspective. It's probably also why I haven't written any articles on that matter. I'll deny rewards on this account for any article I publish here. Once I figure out how to do that with comments I'll do the same.
Why not discuss the points deeper in a voice chat.
Yes! That's part of the plan. @trostparadox, @calumam, and myself have been discussing the performance of an AMA (ask-me-anything) for VYB in the past. I'll be working from home this week and will discuss it with them in our next meeting, hopefully this week. I'll give an update in this article.
yea I was not there for those. But you are not too far behind certain ideas.
