My feeling is that the pool and voting work okay, but that abuse needs to be dealt with by whales if they want people to stick around. When they see the same few people making thousands each day for posts that don't seem worth it then it starts to grate. I know those people have powerful friends, but they shouldn't complain too much if others decide they are being over-rewarded. I don't have the power to do this and of course it risks retaliation. I want to see rewards go to those who are doing the best work here.
BTW I'm not putting onions in my socks :) I don't wear any in bed anyway
Agreed. That is the problem I see. I think some form of court will need to be created that watches for people abusing the system. If we have no oversight, there is no vision for the future, we are running this train for a wreck that is inevitable as the abuse grows, the methods expanded. Much like computer gaming, there needs to be a form of cheat detection, watching for abuse.
