RE: Another Solution to Dissuade Steemit Abuse/Reward Pool Destruction. The Steemian RewardPool Protection Guild.
(Commenting before reading any comments)
So from how solutions is sugested it makes me question if the aim of New Earth Nation truly is decentralised and anarchist. As I see the use of a guild with the intent of creating and enforcing rules that the guild alone agrees upon as a form of centalisation of rule/law enforcement(policing?).
Even though there may be a comflict as of now, the best anarchist way of solving this is to look at what effect is not wanted overall, and what can reduce or remove motivation of that being done. And from how I see it the only way that can be done is to limit the max steem power up you can buy to get. Meaning that I.E you can max get 100 steem power from buying steem and powering up, the rest you need to earn from posting and participating. Also i dont understand why upvote bots is allowed to be used. As i thought that this platform made sure that the account created was a human and not a bot, to prevent bot accounts. But it looks like im mistaken on that.
The idea @jostein is that we would invite all steemians to participate in this guild, so their voice can be heard and their opinions recognized. Then after gathering and compiling the general opinions of the steem community, we can focus in on the area where the vast majority of people agree.
We can then collectivley enforce as an overall community the forms of abuse we all generally agree to be abuse.
Part of the game with Steem is that it is an appealing playground/business place for those with significant funds. The high value of Steem is due almost entirely to people with a lot of currency choosing to buy vast amounts of Steem.
We think the bots should have a human curation/whitelisting element. That would help solve a lot of the "bot upvote abuse". Also limitations should be placed on ones ability to purchase upvotes.
