title"Two proposed HF policy change for countering reward based abuses."
body"<html>
<h1>No-reward from self-votes on comments.</h1>
<p><strong>When a user vote on his own comment the rshare ($ value) would count toward ranking but would not be paid out to the user.</strong></p>
<p>This preserve the benefit of SteemPower holder to give increased exposure to their content (thus future reward) but limit the temptation to create comments mainly to self-claim a reward.</p>
<p>Commenting only to self-reward has increased tremendously with HF19. A huge increase in comment spam makes conversation much harder to follow. &nbsp;People have to browse through pages of comments made by bots to find relevant information or real people waste time answering bots.</p>
<p>Note : I do not recommend this no-reward from self-vote policy to be considered for posts at this time, only on comments. (Post usually have a higher expected level of work put into them and are more independent than comments thus less invasive).</p>

<h1>Increase down-voting power to counteract the lost curation reward opportunity.</h1>
<p><strong>I recommend increasing the strength of the downvotes (flag) relative to the percentage decrease in voting power by a factor of MINIMUM 25% but closer to 50%</strong></p>
<p>People using their their steempower to downvote (flag) content almost always do so to improve the platform as a whole. It's usually to suppress abusive behavior or to demote content to the benefit of better content.</p>
<p>Reasons suggested by Steemit to downvote :</p>
<ul>
<li>Disagreement on rewards</li>
<li>Fraud or Plagiarism</li>
<li>Hate Speech or Internet Trolling</li>
<li>Intentional miscategorized content or Spam</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Detecting these abuse is a thought intensive process, requiring SteemPower to enforce it almost guarantee that nobody does it unless it's justified, but missing out on curation reward makes it a cost negative action (and that's not even considering risk of retaliation Vs. possibility of a reward kickback).</strong></p>
<p>Example : It would cost a user the same % of voting power to bring down a post by $1.50 than to bump one by $1.00</p>
