The Meta

I must admit that after months of mulling on the subject, I feel like the problem of rankings and the problems with points allocations are without solutions.

The problem is Meta (and possibly flawed coding but lets assume that the code functions exactly as intended). Once a Meta exists there will be a way to exploit the Meta. Right now the system for reaching top page and getting a lot of tokens is very binary. The only difference is verification of wallets and the need for unique interactions from accounts.

I have an idea and it may be controversial but It does add a level of complexity that would make gaming hard to do.

Likes: Likes still earn you points but the value in points double if the post is a “Verified Post”  Verified posts are posts only containing original content that has been either authenticated by a patent service, does not reappear in a image/text bot search, or has been submitted to a block chain specifically set up to authenticate content on Minds. Verified Posts are under more scrutiny but they are more valued by the algorithm than any other kind of post. Re-posts of content discovered by said services earn no points from likes.

Comments: Comments give out points based on their type.

1. Status posts earn points based on how many unique users of X* channel age comment on the post. If the commenter has an account created with an X date or older then the creator of the post earns points from that comment.

2. Blog posts earn points when comments trigger the Meta Subject. The Meta Subject is randomly applied when a user publishes a blog post for the first time. The Meta Subject is a word in the title, the body of the post, and in the tags. A commenter has to create a paragraph of text (at least 300 characters or more) containing one or all parts of the Meta Subject. The creator of the blog does not know what the Meta Subject is. Meta Subjects cannot be enabled on blog posts with less than 500 words, one word Blog titles, and blogs with less than two hash tags.

3. Video, image, and link posts earn points when the creator of the post replies to comments made on said post (does not work if they do not reply with tag) within the 24 hour period of it being made.

Reminds: In order to remind a post you would have to wire the post half a token, Reminded posts earn points on views, once that reminded post earns 500 views it no longer generates points for the reminder, reminded posts do not earn points from likes or comments and you cannot remind a reminded post.

Top Rankings are still based on an algorithm but this algorithm changes routinely. All combinations are publicly displayed.

An algorithm decides the Meta Subject of a blog post and ranks the blog higher for every unique user's successful trigger of the Meta Subject in their comment within a 24 hour period.

An algorithm decides which images and videos will rank top based on the tags applied to the post as well as comments and replies to those comments from the original poster within the 24 hour period. Hash tags with top ranking potential shift randomly per day.

Groups rank based on the amount of Verified Posts that they have, replies from the original poster interacting with the commenters of their post, and the amount of unique users posting to the group per day.

Channels will rank based on Verified Posts, blogs with often attained Meta Subjects, quick replies to users commenting on image, video, and link posts, Users who created their account at X date and older who liked your posts, and the amount of times that user has had their content reminded within a 24 hour period.

Changes to remind puts more of an emphasis on creating exposure for someone else's content and for the reminder to merely make their points back on the investment.

Top rankings are for hyper active users engaging on the site in every possible way.

The idea isn't to have an in-depth idea on how the system works; it's to create a system where one randomly meets the goals requested and earns points when that happens. Knowing Meta and trying to exploit it should yield a very punishing experience in comparison to just using the site as normal and being rewarded for activity that garners prosperous interactions.
