RE: The 1UP User Level System (First Draft)
One thing that jumped out at me about your system @flauwy is the effect of timezones. If an early upvote has so much importance the people in the "wrong" time zone for a post won't be able to take advantage of that.
And it will give a huge advantage to the voting that is done on a massive scale by particular country groups.
If I'm understanding what you're saying correctly. 😁
Don't worry, this will not be as bad as you describe. First of all there will be ten communities when we start on level 1 and able to get the big upvote. In order to make it most interesting we will let every 2.4 hours a community clock go to zero. That means there is something going on all day.
Additionally, as soon as a community hits level 2 they get a second daily upvote. That will reflect in putting their two daily timers with a distant of 12 hours to each other. Another possibility is to reshuffle ALL timers every time an community level-up happens and recalculate the new perfect distance of all timers. But I guess that would be very confusing and disrupting.
Either way, I am on it. ;)
Good to hear it @flauwy.
It will be interesting to see what the reality will be once you start running. What a huge advantage though, having the Steemit experience for reference of what to look out for. 😁
