How to Prevent Abuse and Milking of Reward Pool

I extend a comment on this @ post talking about abuse and milking of reward pool by some power users and whales, into this blog.

Self upvote should be removed. I personally never upvote my posts or comments and I think that self upvoting is most stupid think here on Steemit. It's like to fuck yourself and enjoy in the process. Again! It is stupid, weird, silly meaningless!!! Just greedy pigs upvote themselves to grab as much as possible from the reward pool. We all know them Steemit don't hide anything. I boost my earnings to use @minnowbooster bot lately but I stopped using it, because it's silly too.

So to domesticate this greedy herd I propose three changes in steem voting protocol:

• Cancel self upvoting.
• Powering down should be done through delegating steem power. Could be done automatically to followers which upvote your posts most, or user can delegate SP according his will.
• If reputation/steem power ratio defined by the steem blockchain is exceeded the user is forced to delegate superfluous SP in one week. It this haven't been done superfluous SP is then burned by sending too the @null account.

This measures will stimulate users more to upvote other users for contributing good stuff and get an upvote by doing the same. Power down process will help distributing SP and sprout fair distribution of reward pool and SP upper limit will have same effect beside preventing abuses from really dominant whales.

Also flagging will be much more effective to whales too. Because if you get flagged hard your reputation is decreased, with that your reputation/steem power ratio is also affected and you will be forced to delegate your SP too (cooling your head and thinking what you done wrong). This will in great extend prevent a revenge hikes and also enable less powerful users to have a chance to defend themselves against power users attacks.

This theme is always hot here on Steemit. My intention is to start productive debate about this issues and I challenge you all to comment and contribute solutions to this problem on this platform.
