RE: Implement a Contributor Timeout Function instead of Manual Bans to Utopian.io
I can be wrong but my impression as an outsider of that whole utopian-io thing I've seen so far is that some mods own postings always seem to receive juicy upvotes from the system.
I think you are indeed wrong, because -a- a moderator cannot approve their own posts, -b- the Utopian bot doesn't give a higher upvote to moderators, -c- since moderators know all the rules well, read a lot of contributions, they are simply able to publish better contributions and therefore their posts are approved: because of the contribution quality.
I actually meant that: no separation of powers.
To be paid for moderating and then getting moderated and rewarded in the same system.
Not exactly a neutral system?
I think you are completely thinking in the wrong direction here. If you mean that moderators shouldn't be allowed to publish because they're also moderating, then nobody would moderate anymore and the whole system would collapse.
Moderating costs so much time, it pays about $0.25 per hour. Moderators should be paid far more actually, that's my opinion.
PS: feel free to apply as an aspirant-moderator and donate all your rewards to charity! Would you like me to introduce you?
Nah that's okay man, I'd be a bad one at that, I'm already time constraint with browsing my own favourite categories on Steemit and authoring a post once in a while.
It's all good intended that I'm sure of but I'm worried there will be abuse. It's a human nature thing eh, especially when there's money involved :-)
