How does wading through crap relate to transparent voting?

well, i think this whole idea (transparent voting) is being introduced because of the martintimothy sub and its alt users spamming s/all a little bit too much with antisemitism. so we should be able to see how the same alts are upvoating the same hate posts...

but on voat they have a 'block subverse' function under each post and its incredibly handy to clean up their v/all page. the amount of porn (and worse than that) is insane. the site would be absolutely unusable without it.

Now I see how you related it.

But the post didn't state that. I'm for more transparency regardless. If rigged Steemit has transparent voting, surely we can too.

And if folks are worried about transparency, privacy, etc. What about the fact that this whole site is open to potentially be web-scraped. magnora7 and d3rr could make it even easier and make RSS feeds for the "All New Posts" and "All New Comments" - as I suggested ( /s/SaidIt/comments/bon/rss_for_saidit_a_good_idea/ ) but no one commented on. And if that's problematic then what about embracing decentralization protocols and platforms?

Spamming and infiltration are different issues, that may be peripherally related but should be addressed separately IMHO.

Also, MartinTimothy is not the only dual identity here. /u/Froglich and /u/Vigte7 are spoof aliases. And those are just ones I know of. FYI, I have ONLY one user account or else I'd be making way more subs that the measly 1/week.

Froglich will haunt you without up-votes
