IMO, something that I believe would compliment communities (a little controversial) is a class system. It's not so different to the real word. Also, forums have implemented a similar system for a long while, by methods such as posting ability level, thanked level, earned achievements etc. They are a way of instantly recognizing each other and the level of commitment to the system/platform.

Rep is almost laughable here. A -18 can rape the rewards no differently to a +70. Fuck what stake they have, they are a tumor to the system. A flag is simply a minnow's nightmare. Those who are "at war" don't know what flag really does. They have abilities which the rest don't have. Either a heavy flag back or the aid of others with rank that can come and heal their wounds.

A class system already exists anyway. It's just not official. Your wallet determines the rank. Not so bad as yeah those who put much in deserve more out. However it's more than that. It's who likes you... and who doesn't. Evident in what is going on in the the little sandbox with haejin and bernie. Aren't they cute btw. NO. They aren't. They are both FUCKWITS. It's no longer between the belligerents anymore. There is much collateral damage. Where if you simply interact with one, the other loses their buttplug.

Do you think that this disease won't spread into communities?

Anyway however communities are run it won't matter. The tag system should show that the migration over to communities will lead to the same thing. Certain tags get whored by those who know whoring and exploiting.

With a class system you have some type of comfort that you are playing/competing in the pool with like individuals for real. That there won't be some whales and their sucker fish come in and rape the place and take big rewards simply because the bots are programed to jerk them off harder.

For instance:

• A whale zone where the big money players can do what they do.
• A middle ground for those with humble amounts of investment and those who are committed for the long run and want to grow the system organically and for those who come here as already established identities elsewhere.
• A lower rank, for all the newbies and the ones who stick around but are not writers and are content to simply contribute by commenting and curating. Also the hard workers who start from the bottom and work their way up.

If there were 3 rewards pool, one for each rank I would think (without even thinking about how it would work) that the spread would be much more fair than it is now. Nothing else needs to change. All would be free to interact with the system as normal. You just play in a different league.

Like we don't already ay....

But,, all this means shit because the ones who should care... don't.. and the rest of us can go get fucked. True story bro.
