RE: The Limit on Conversation Depth Here is Really Really Annoying!
I actually don't know why its limited to only 6.
In the whitepaper it says: "Good discussion requires back and forth posting. When you reply to someone else, they get
50% of any payout you receive in that thread. This rule applies up to 6 levels deep. Starting a
big discussion greatly rewards the parent poster.
"
and that's all they say about it, not why. Would be nice to know if it is just something that could be added easily.
It's fine that the rule only applies up to 6 levels deep, but that shouldn't make the conversation have to stop. If I post at level 15 and get rewarded then share that reward with levels 10 through 14 or whatever.
It's funny that the whitepaper mentions rewards going 6 levels deep when the comments themselves only go 5 levels deep. :)
The OP counts as a level. In the original reward-sharing model the original post would get 50% of the rewards from all comments below, and that would continue at each lower level.
That reward sharing was actually removed though. I believe some of the code implementing it is still around and is part of the issue with the reply depth. There may be other issues as well.
I agree the whole depth limit is extremely annoying and will drive some types of content and users away.
I find following conversations becomes much easier on steemd than here.

Depth is a problem I find annoying because you can't start a serious conversation without using stupid tricks to get around depth limitations.
Just wish we could post via steemd.
sometimes i cant reply my followers, even we are in a discussion. so i was wondering when this will be fixed
