0.000 HBDSteem Enhancement Suggestion: Posts Could Allow A "Minimum Comment Fee" In Order To Limit Spam
When posting, there are 3 options related to how a post manages payment: 50%/50% payment, decline payment, or 100% SP. I suggest the introduction of a new option: "minimum comment fee". If author chooses that, then commenting will incur a minimum fee (0.1 STEEM?) or a custom one, as high as the author wants, set only for that post. If author chooses this option (which may be combined with any of the 3 above) then commenters won't be able to comment unless they pay that fee. The comment fee may go to various places and, if this suggestion gets traction, I suggest a poll to crowdsource ideas. A few suggestions: * comment fee goes to Steemit fund dedicated to the creation of new accounts (hence supporting the growth of the platform) * comment fee goes to author 100% (as a form of tipping) * comment fee is split between author and all commenters, on top of curation rewards The rationale behind this suggestion is that many low-quality, irrelevant or spammy comments won't be posted at all, with a positive impact on the blockchain size and overall members experience. The above text was posted identically, as an [open issue](https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/1784), to the Steem GitHub repo. If you want to contribute or debate, I would love to hear your ideas. *** _I'm a serial entrepreneur, blogger and ultrarunner.
