Points can be used for boosting content (post and comments). Boosting requests are manually reviewed by our moderators and curators which might take upto 24 hours.
As part of the qualities check, we may consider: a) Content is original content, b) Not detected by cheetah, mackbot, hivewatchers, or any other blacklists etc. c) User is not in Ecency blacklist due to abusive behavior.
Relatively simple criteria. This doesn’t include bashful content, hate speech, anti-Vax, flat-earth or simply back scratching… I vote you - you vote me stuff.
Bottom line, without control this can approach bidbot which we fought so hard to get rid off. Why is this feature required?
It is not automated, it is in control manually reviewed with limited and quality checked process and Points are centralized pointing system to help increase engagement and add extra gamification aspects.
