RE: People with negative reputation or more number of downvotes should be restricted from doing "vote" and "comment" operations maybe even "transfers"
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Would it be a good idea to restrict people from broadcasting transactions if their account reputation goes below a certain value?
Worst idea!
You can't and shouldn't prevent anyone from broadcasting transactions (except if they run out of RC)
Imagine you being downvoted to hell for any reason and find yourself with your funds locked because you can't transact.
Do you really believe the "good folks from the community" (aka curators, meaning they expect curation rewards) will coordinate and waste their precious votes just to unlock you?
The reputation system is flawed and needs to be fixed, replaced, or removed.
Till then, the simplest solution is the front-ends to provide a feature to filter out such low-rep spammy comments.
I agree with you, but the issue remains:
What about the spammers? This exact fake account has been spamming me with downvotes too, I don’t care as it has zero effects, but it is annoying, and someone is getting money from this network of bots.
What to do?…
I already proposed a simple solution. What's yours?
I have none. By instinct I would say fork, block and seize those accounts but I know it is not viable, it would be just an instinctive desire.
It is the nature of our freemium blockchain to allow such abuses.
A brainstormed solution I just thought superficially would be to allow to periodically cast votes to a profile.
Because for example, the user @anddumbcunts spams downvotes on every single thing I post and is probably part of the same botnet.
If we could downvote his profile and those profile downvotes would lower the level. Because this spammer specifically does not post, his level is still 25.
Very very nice comment, 100% agree with you!!
Thank you @burnoutawesome
We are in total agreement here at DCP. Steamy and I were discussing this, and we came to the conclusion that the reputation system on Hive, regardless of the intent, works like a social credit system.
