I don't understand the details of this discussion yet, seems long and with lot of nuances. @stickupboys can you write a short post and explain your point of view. I don't play rising star and will not play. I don't even know what that is. I do play Splinterlands and I will continue to play.

I personally use the term abuse a lot and I will use it as I see fit. If a game economy depends on hive curation upvotes then it's not a game at all it is just a faucet to get hive curation to survive. That's my view.

PS. Stickupboys, I have seen you around for a long time, but just checked your KE ratio is 62! Boy! That’s a lot! :)
