RE: Why does Nobody care About Bullying on Hive?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
This whole downvoting concept is a big problem because it favourises the big vs the small. It means that no minnow will downvote a bigger account because in retaliation he will be losing. The whole system is asymetric and it induces that big token holders should have the role of playing the police on the blockchain. Whales won't donvote whales but will go on to tackled small users. This is why the whole concept is biased and not helpful. In addition having free downvotes makes it even worse.
A solution might be that the downvote is linked to reputation only. Let's say 10 users with reputation over 50 downvote a post. It looses 10% of it's value. Users with reputation lower than 50 can't downvote. This would prevent the creation of new accounts just for this purpose. This would be much fairer because it's not the economical weight that matters in these downvotes but the reputation on the blockchain and everybody (above 50 reputation) would have an even downvote value.
That is an interesting proposition... Maybe a bit complicated than what I have imagined, but it's an idea... It would be great that we have more discussions about this topic...
But, we will have to wait for at least a couple of "whale awakening" :)
Without some very heavy weight whales not much can be done here ;-)
you are right.. the next step is to get the attention of some of the whales... :)
