Limiting rewards per account won't help as one can crate the whole lot of accounts and distribute SP among them.
You'll get what you pay for. If you pay half a dollar for low-effort monnow post you will get tons and tons of low posts.
I believe flagging is an essential part of the platform.

Limiting vest per post would lower rewards per post and would make creating multiple account moot.

True, cant we create bots that can track them? like how some tracked some accounts recently?
They will still not reach the trending page as no one would vote for it. However 50cents was just an eg. we can set a limit to 1cent, 10cent etc.
Some whales are taking advantage of it flagging people they hate, removing personal grudges. Or maybe we can set limits of flagging too, so nobody can flag to 0, as you know some have a powerful SP

Okay, you track them. Then what? We could easily track haejin posting random crap and vote it to the skies - how it helps us?
You propose inflation and reward pool redistribution to minnows for ANY post that gets into blockchain. Actually need to think about it. It could be a nice idea.
We could introduce flags that deplete upvote by a proportion like voting power. Voting power never reach zero, so would do sbd worth of ups.

Sounds good to me... But problem is these need to get discussed in steemfests and meetups, then partying or ass kissing.. Steemfests seems like "Bilderberg" to me..

Flagging needs to be encouraged not removed. There has to be a way of dusting the spammers

What about whales removing personal grudges on good content if someone tells them that they have posted shit, i have seen that happening. They go to their page, and start flagging their posts, which are not bad content at all.

Present rules give them such power so they use it.

If there was a limit on how much vest a whale can use to uvpote/downvote then the karma could get rebalanced by upvoters.

What about limiting how many times per week/month 1 users votes count towards another?

For example, if I upvote your comment or post today then upvote your comment or post tomorrow, the vote tomorrow doesn't count. This could help prevent bots from voting for the same user over and over again.

Of course it does have the problem of "just make more accounts." Perhaps it could be IP based as well? It wouldn't completely solve the problem but it could help mitigate it.

IP based voting maybe could work on a Steemit.com or a busy.org level. But not on the blockchain.

Anyone could fork the steemit sourcecode from github, and run his or hers own server.

That wouldn't be overly difficult for the people who are currently gaming the system.

That makes sense. Thank you for the expansion.
