When I woke up to this news, I was really disappointed. My first thought was 'what bad timing.' To do just such an experiment with steem so low. This changes the rules of the game and we had no heads up. Bad form.
However, I am starting to see a little bit of how it might be a good thing. We'll have a few days of figuring out the new rules, but we will.
It would be super nice to know the duration of this experiment.
It would be super nice if they explained ALL of the constraints and parameters of the exxperiment so at least some useful information could come of it. But no, that didn't happen.

Agreed, I watched it unfold early this AM and even jumped in the conversation a bit. I was bitter at first, but I kept telling myself that we are still in beta and it's to be expected....That doesn't mean that I am down with how it has happened by any means, but I've come to terms with it in the last couple of hours.
A time frame would be nice...Hey, @smooth or @abit I know y'all are probably being bombarded right now, but could you maybe help us out? How long will this experiment be ongoing?

I wrote a community encouragement post today, got 5 or more flags, with massive 10% flags/DV, by the TOP whales, - when 1% would have been fair..... it killed the rep score and payout, and I had a lot of time and thought into it but who cares, about encouraging content right that is then worth $1?
It was a failed experiment and these flags, with no start or end date, or announcement, are driving good people off here daily. Poorly thought out, at best.
