After brainstorming with @smooth...
As we discussed many times it seems curation rewards don't work as intended !
I think the most problems regarding curation rewards would get auto solved if the system would use a treshold to stop them !
This treshold should be the success of the post to be included on the trending page (for example 20 top posts) When it gets to TOP 20 ... STOP the curation rewards!!!
Just let the people know after the curation reward get "deactivated" when they try to upvote...
I have opened a github issue also to get the attention we need from the steem/steemit developers but the most pressure comes from the community when it reaches consensus about any subject ;)

have you 5 minutes for brainstorming?
about curation
smooth12:44 PM sure

I thought this...
first of all I disagree to stop curation rewards
but I thought we can disable curation rewards when we reached a "treshold"
for example when the post made it to the trending page (top 50 post or something like that)
then curation rewards could stop

that might work
but here's the thing. voting stuff on trending gives little to no curation reward. people just dont understand it

IDEA !!!!!
what if when the treshold is met the system pop up a window message when someone upvotes that sais: "Post made it to the trending page so the curation rewards will be minimal! Are you sure you want to upvote and decrease your valyable voting power?"
or something like that
the userbase would be educated faster!
smooth 12:51 PM not bad
here is the https://steemit.chat/ screenshot...
Please give me your feedback about the idea and why not come up with a better one or "tweak" the initial one...
