RE: Vybrainium Moderation: A Proposal

I mean Mr. A who happens to be friends with Mr B upvotes MR. B poor quality post simply because he wants to give monetary reward to a friend, caring little about the poor content the friend made, and with a hope of receiving same measure on his posts irrespective of the quality.

So, we move from a period of clear agreement towards an area of gray. In other words we're discussing something much more subjective here.

No one would begrudge Mr. A wanting to give a hand-out to the friend, but like self-voting, there's a limit to what the Hive community will tolerate. I'm not sure about the %VP on this one as it varies.

Mr. A has other options, however, in how he could help out Mr. B, yes?

Mr. A can write a post for Mr. B on writing better articles or whatever topic he choses.
Mr. A can send Mr. B a tip and completely bypass voting rewards.
Mr. A can co-write an article with Mr. B to raise his exposure.
Mr. A can delegate a portion of his own earnings to Mr. B.
Mr. B can continue to engage with the community to improve his own performance.

There are a lot of options out there that doesn't involve voting. If "irrespective of quality" is an area someone wants to operate under, then it's going to cause a problem for Mr. A. People forgive occasional lapses, but their patience will run out when it starts affecting the community.
