The patch that was talked about has worked and most accounts should be back to 100% with their Resource Credits (rc's). I have done a few comments and votes already and it recovers really quickly.
A post now uses around 0.10% which is literally nothing and before you know it has recovered straight back to 100%. The same with comments and by the time you have posted a comment and read the next post it has recovered.
I think it is early days still as some spam accounts appeared straight away and that was one of the reasons for the rc's, to prevent them from operating. Maybe they need to adjust it down slightly so we get rid of them. I am all for engagement with lots of comments but would also like to see the spammers gone.
This is a balancing act and I am almost certain will fluctuate on platform usage. For now from what we had is super good news, but I for one won't complain if it is still tweaked. I would like to see it user friendly for new accounts so we can get mass onboarding at some point. I am not expecting them to be able to do 50 comments a day but a reasonable amount anyway. At the infancy stage of an account you could only do 10 x 100% votes per day ,so a few more than 3 votes a day with enough comments as well would be way better and even though will be hard, not impossible to grow. Obviously a small investment would help ,but not everyone can afford to do this.
I am just happy to see the platform functioning again and hopefully all the fudders will now keep quiet. What is happening on here is the future of blogging and we must stick with it and just work through any issues as a community. The new rc's will move us one step forward and I am confident the HF20 was the right decision.
