RE: Steem Flag Rewards Daily Activity Report 4-15-2018 - Ironic Flags from @iflagshit
This is beautiful stuff @steemflagrewards I actually proposed a similar system that rewards flagging content on Steemit in my post here earlier today: https://steemit.com/steemit/@beggars/my-proposal-to-reduce-spam-on-steemit-and-reward-policing - my idea is a little more elaborate, but the work you're doing here is a great start and in line with how I envision Steemit: a place where people are not afraid to flag content and be rewarded for it.
Hey thanks @beggars, I actually saw that. Yeah, would take a bit more technical overhead to achieve what you are talking about but there are a couple concerns that I would have.
One, since the reputation metric is already skewed and many more talented scammers have achieved a relatively high rep. That may not be the best thing to go off of to determine who may be trusted for review.
I'll take a closer analysis and give you my feedback. It's a good idea just would need to consider all the avenues that the idea could be attacked by those that do not mean well. Thanks for commenting and the support!
Yeah, technical wise I realise that it's not something that can easily be implemented into Steemit and might not ever be. What gave me the inspiration was how StackOverflow handles crowd moderation, I have moderation powers over on StackOverflow and the way they do it is similar: a question is flagged, it goes into a queue and then other users also review the flagged question. If enough people agree, it's removed or closed.
But you are right, based on what I have seen, the power users and bot abusers will always find a way to circumvent any low-quality check or guidelines designed to prevent people spamming to the top.
