Relevant: The Only Social Network Built On Trust

Who is supposed to evaluate my articles myself or the other users in the community?. Let start by defining Reputation? The reputation of a social entity (a person, a social group, an organization, or a place) is an opinion about that entity, typically as a result of social evaluation on a set of criteria. (Source Wikipedia). The question we need to answer as a community is this? 1. In whose hands lies the task of evaluating my activities ? Myself or other users. If I am giving the right to evaluate myself, Will I really give a fair, unbiased judgement? I don't think so. Why because that atom of greed and selfishness in me won't allow me to be fair. Therefore the right to examine, if I truly deserve an upvote or an increase in Reputation should be in the hands of a third party. Which is in this case other users in the community. This post was motivated by the fact that I discovered this morning that I could upvote and bet on my own post. I don't know if this is a bug. But if not, I don't think this feature won't help us develop a fair community for all. Imagine this scenario. I am a high Reputation member, I publish an article link. Then I upvoted It and bet with over 5000 Rel tokens. Push the article to the top of the relevant page. I win in three ways.. 1. More reputation because I will get more upvotes.. since my articles is topping the relevant page 2. More Rel token rewards because I was the first to bet on my articles 3. More Rel tokens again because he or she bet the highest amount. I don't think this is fair for most users with small amount of Rel tokens. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Way forward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(( We need to see how we can leave out evaluating articles and post by only third parties. Let other users evaluate the relevancy of my post and articles. The software has to be adjusted to limit the impacts of whales in this system. In a case where we have an article with a total contribution of atleast 100000 Rel tokens contributed by just 100 users. If look at the contribution of each users, you find out that only 5% contributed 95000 Rel tokens. While the remaining 95% contributed 5000 Rel tokens. Can we we really use this statistics to measure the true relevancy of this post or article across board.. I will say the article or post was FORCED to be relevant. Please [@slavia](/user/profile/slavia) [@Relevant](/user/profile/Relevant) and the Dev team. please kindly look into this. If we really need a healthy and transparent community. As always this is only a suggestion
