RE: The Upvote Multiplier - More Curation Power at the cost of Voting Power? + UI Design
I like the idea and it is good to see this starting to be looked at.
I tend to think the perceived problem as it stands is that it doesn't have the feel content matters, just the authors at this point. This could potentially exacerbate the problem. AuthorX always does well, I 10x vote Authorx for the curation and never look back... or at anything else.
Yes that is defiantly a potential problem... hmm maybe more limitations should be added to the multiplier.
...
Good thoughts, I think a good set of rules coded right into the multiplier would get a lot of problems solved. Much testing would be required.
You touched on something I talked about a couple days ago.... Upvote per username. The basics...
Curation rewards have a sliding scale... The sooner you vote the more it says you support the author. What if that was changed to how often you vote for same author?
So day 1 I vote for author x he gets 75% of my vote and I get 25%
Day 2 I vote again..... 80/20
Day 3 85/15
The same argument applies. If I vote for the same authors every day, it becomes obvious they are the reason I return and why shouldn't they get a larger share of my vote each time?
A sliding scale sounds very interesting and would be a possible method of eliminating self bot votes from multiple accounts and aimless votes for followed users. But I do also agree that some users you actually do read, interact, comments, and enjoy these authors should get the large share of your vote. Good Points.
