Scarlett Letter? Need self vote shaming tool!

I suspect self-voting is an issue.

We all do it but I hope I am also spreading some votes to others. When Hive account@bitcoiner made steemdown it shed light on whales who were flooding the market. We need a selfie shaming site!

Don't Underestimate Public Humiliation

When I started in finance I had a boss who would yell at three of us at a time in his office. It was embarrassing to be berated in earshot of your coworkers. My football coaches used the same tactic. Drill sergents, I have heard, are no strangers to it's effectiveness. Hive account@bitcoiner used this tactic effectively (if unintentionally I presume) in steemdown. In days gone by the threat of the scarlet letter or the stocks might have deterred wayward pilgrims. In short public humiliation can work.

Selfie-Shame

Let's create a new website that list the top 200 self voters. For all the voters in the last 24 hours we can calculate wha percent of their votes were self votes (selfies) or to others. Now some self votes might be to alternative accounts. We'll ignore that at first but if we see concentrated voting like 90 % going to anonymous 123 perhaps that should make the list.

Daily Selfie Shame Post

Next we take the top 5 daily offenders and show pie graphs of their votes for the last week. I doubt anyone wants to be on this list. Some guardians of the platform might actually start flagging them if they are draining a large portion of rewards.

What We'll Find

I suspect we'll initially see lots of 90-100 percent self voters. Most will be from small or new accounts. But hopefully not too many big ones on the list.

This should bring down selfie rates

I don't want to be anywhere near this list. If you can keep self votes to under 25-30% I think that's good. It means even if you vote your comment and your post you are also voting for others at twice the rate. I think that's sufficient to spread the money around and keep the platform dynamic.
