yeah, ive been waiting for the 'official' announcement on steemit... i am writing a post now... how many of the top 19 need to agree... is it 10/19?

>As a minnow going through the few whales downvoting and controling Steemit community

To be perfectly honest, i think the 'expirement' was an OK idea.  It could have been executed and explained much better, IMO, but i think the idea behind it came from the desire to improve the user experience.   @abit (who iiuc came up with the idea) has done a lot with voting to try to improve users experience (including going out of his way to upvote comments when almost no one else does).

Its relatively easy to shit on people like abit and smooth when they try to do something good and it has some negative consequences....   but you have to keep in mind that the net effect of their efforts is to make every users vote _worth more_.... I don't necessarily think its the answer, but i think its a good step to figuring one out.

At the end of the day, theyre trying to clean up the mess steemit inc made and refuses to take responsibility for.

>As a minnow going through the few whales downvoting and controling Steemit community

You got it backward. They are not controlling anything, they are giving community control back.

Yes, I missed this post and was under the impression that this was set in stone more or less.
@sneak I think you should revisit this important issues asap, granted Dan has left there is no reason to remove that from the proposed changes, and @ned like sigmajin has said before and as any developer knows or anybody that has basic understanding of programing, changing code isn't excused by money. Ctrl+F god damnit.

>hear,hear!

For the record, snowflake and i have both written quite a bit about the platform, voting and changes we would like to see... and i think this is like the one thing we agree on.
