RE: Helsing: Governance Ideas (Good/Bad whales needed)

in #steemit7 years ago

Interesting concept, and I like it in theory. My initial concern was that the account would be abused, and could flag things that don't need to be flagged. Your idea of polls intrigues me too, but I would still worry slightly that people could somehow cheat the system to get the end results they wanted?

It would have to be trialled well and have some decent bot creators and the like involved (some are already). The wrongly flagged will be quite difficult to do but, arbitration avenues would likely be in place also. This however is mostly for the clear cut cases and with a 75% majority required, they would be quite clear cut.

You mean like 22,000 SBD a week?

Jeez. Is someone taking that much from the reward pool?! Wow...

I really do think something needs to be done. I like the idea of a democratic vote, a jury if you will, deciding the outcome of any cases brought to light. Perhaps, in that regard, the people on the 'jury' could change regularly so as to not allow for people to push a certain agenda.

Public votes would be great for peer pressure too.

It could actually be a rotating random band of users. A true representative democracy.

Some might blanche at this, giving some spammers the keys to the court room, but a vote would put them on record. The process might influence the best of them to step up and be proper.

Anyway, just thinking that a delegation like that with a rotating, random delegation sitting in judgement would be interesting.

Yes, one is. Crazy right? Been doing it for 3 months straight now with one large whale backing them.

It would change somewhat organically anyway but there are options for that also in the future. Getting it up and running for a trial is the aim.
