RE: Helsing: Governance Ideas (Good/Bad whales needed)
Bernie's downvotes have zero effect on rep (positive or negative), but the bots that go along with him do. He does, however, still have an effect on wallet. I wrote a post explaining it recently.
I see Rep as a self ego meter, wallet is what everyone wants. If that one guy was still making $300+ per post and was Rep 25 do you really think it would cause him to quit posting?
Yet it goes the other way as well if his Rep was 78 and he made zero on every post he made, he would go away quickly.
I think more ego's are hurt by his Rep being 76 than by his being up voted the $300+ every post.
There are a large hand full above 65 who got to their Rep the exact same way except more than one supported them, are we going after all of them?
I don't think rep plays a big factor in that turmoil. When it started, his rep was pretty low. That being said, it is an ego thing and people love it. It's stupid and meaningless, though.
Right and once his post started to go to $300 a small handful decided to flag him. Now he is one of the highest Rep's on the platform and in place of those with the power flagging we are looking to build a super flagging account. This problem can easily be corrected if those with the power do their part.
Easier to use the flags each account has and not waste more delegation that can go to smaller users and other accounts. We are already having all of the delegation that is extra being sold to bots from minnow sized accounts to @minnowbooster to @freedom sized accounts to bid bots.
Where does delegation stop being sold to advance those with money or hurt those getting up votes stop and start going back to tiny people trying to make an account here like everyone else?
