I stumbled upon a true plagiarism artist yesterday, spamming people with the same 'good post^^' comment and posting a new ripped meme or photo with not added text every 5 minutes or so. Sad thing is she even got rewarded with big upvotes for some of them. Now I dont want to get bitter on anyone for trying to make some money but if its done in this way I feel robbed of those valuable upvotes that me and many more others put in a lot of time and effort to try and get some of it. Now I know where I can report this behavior...thanks for that!
Also about the minnowsupport abuse, might that be why minnowsupport upvotes have dropped immensely in worth the past week from 1,50 to about 0,10 you think?
first off, I know exactly how you feel seeing such things... that's what it does to me, too!
about the minnowsupport dropping in value... I am not sure... maybe voting power drained a bit due to excessive usage... maybe it's just the dropping value of steem... maybe there's really a bunch more accounts doing the same... ?!? I don't know, but I'll keep this under close observation for a while!
The amount of bots and spammers are insane...maybe there should be a bot that detects if someone posts the same comment over and over again
yeah... i am puzzled why that doesnt exist yet?! I mean, there are bots tracking how often you use the
#introduceyourselftag... it cannot be that hard!Yes it couldnt be impossible. I mean we have Cheetah already finding similar content. A bot could keep a a small database to categorize comments based on amount of used characters. That way spammed comments will stand out and if it detects a certain amount being used more than usual in a certain periode of time it could easily see if those amounts are tied to 1 account and detect spam. If I knew more about programming I would do it myself but unfortunately I dont...
