RE: How Does Steemit Prevent Spam???

in #steem9 years ago

Well, captcha comes to mind. That would block bots as spammers.

Human spammers are a different story, though. The community can eventually outcast them. With some friendly tools like downvote, report, ban, ...

Sort:  

Block chain cannot use captcha because anyone can broadcast a transaction.

I see. But this can be two different issues:

  1. preventing spammy posts through user interface with captcha
  2. detecting (and somehow blocking) spammy broadcasts

Or do I just don't understand it? :)
