RE: Last Minute Upvoter Accounts (2018-02-19)
explain how selling a vote worth of 6,5 dollars 1 day before payout is an abuse? we have different understanding of what is abuse i guess:)

The intent is to catch those who are doing this regularly as it generally indicates a user trying to hide a large vote they're placing on an undeserving post. The bot will get smarter as time goes on.
i understand the intent...im questioning the "single caught abuser" with his 6 bucks upvote...nothing more nothing less:)
Less time avaiable for the community see the post on the trending and hot Pages, and give a flag If found the post as abusive.
I agree with you here, a user who has done this only once can't be considered an abuser, not a big one. Actually he has a little impact over the reward pool but the big players who take upvotes of hundreds of SBDs, these are the people who should be asked if they find okay what they are doing. Because eventually nobody can say that it is wrong to vote yourself in the day that is made the payout, if the blockchain permits it, then it can be done...
Blockchain permits a lot of things. You can post plagiarized posts, you can threaten someone’s life, you can post 10 times per day and upvote yourself to 500 bucks every time no matter the content, you can flag users for no reason whatsoever. Every user has right to say that this kind of behaviour is wrong and act accordingly with their stake:) Otherwise Steem would have no value whatsoever because everyone would be just gaming the rewards...
Yeap, I completely agree. But for the moment, I have almost no solution to what is happening to the rewards by now. I guess that how the wealth is distributed here is the main problem.
In a capitalistic system wealth will always be distributed more or less in the same way. There will be few really rich users, some rich users, quite some users with at least something and vast majority with very little. I think that no effort can change this (what i deem as) biological fact.
I agree that finding the solution is really hard (if it even is doable) Ive tried to contemplate about it in this post so if youre interested you can go through it:) it is a long post just so you know...:D
I don't have much time to read, I don't know if I will do it now because I am at work and I have just a few free time, but for sure I will do it when I will get home. Just to make it simpler for me, could you tell me what aggrandize mean?
Sure you dont have to do it:D
aggrandize means "enhance the reputation of (someone) beyond what is justified by the facts"
