RE: Two proposed HF policy change for countering reward based abuses.
I see this as mostly hurting minnows. Meanwhile, those that can afford to buy more accounts and use those accounts to upvote themselves will keep doing that. My only solution is refunding a portion of the voting power IF the flag could be automatic verified as being legitimate. If they could do that then we would not be seeing the kind of abuse that goes on with flagging.
There will always be sockpuppet accounts and ways around these things, but the tools to detect them get more advanced by the day.
This would immediately stop incentivizing ta good chunk of the self comment voting "abuse".
Interesting idea about refunding VP, but deciding which flags are "legitimate" becomes a whole other problem in itself :P
Yep, I wish I could solve that part for you guys. I would not even trust the plagiarism bots with the refunding as they don’t get it correct enough. I first thought maybe trusting the top Witness but then that just creates a whole other mess for you guys to deal.
