Recently I must use many flag option because too many spammer, they only using bot and copy paste comment. Sadly I ever saw one of witness vote this spammer comment, I think this spammer using this witness software application. And this witness not aware that his application is using for spamming:)
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Any more info? There are very few witnesses that are also programmers providing for the network. As I am one of them I am curious as to your mentioned issue.
I think this witness does not aware about that and this inadvertent conduct by him. He intends to make software application to make easy for user to make post and comment from smartphone. I appreciate you, and at the final using, about software application is on user responsibility. It is kind like of blacksmith who makes a knife, he intends using that knife for cutting tree or etc but sometimes it uses by his user for other purposes. :)
Ok so from what I can gather, you are interested in asking @good-karma to add a specific user to the blacklist so they dont receive the bot votes from the @esteemapp.
You just need to reach out and help them make the problem known, or bring the user name and a link to https://steemit.chat and post it in #steemcleaners-linkdrop or #steemitabuse.
Nice, I will do it and save that username and post it in steemit.chat. Thank you for your advice :)
which user?
I am not surprised by this. Netuoso wrote a welcome bot script and publish it. I spoke out against it. Was made fun of for doing so. I decided to not further reply to it because he even edited his comment to try and make his point and then called in bots to prop up my comment with upvotes so everyone could see it…
It was 9 days ago if you like to see it you can find I here. If you wish for me to edit the link out please let me know and I will. @stellabelle
Yet again as I have said numerous damn times before, I write open source stuff to TEACH people. If you want to be ignorant and just copy paste it and use it without reading and learning that is your prerogative.
Bots are not bad or spam. Some bots can be, sure. But I would wager a bet that you have made more bytes of bullshit comments than my "spammy" introduction bot has ever made.
By writing simple scripts people learn how to interact with the blockchain in a more complex way. There are many services that requires automation, and learning how to write it by starting with a simple starter script is very helpful to them.
You are clearly not a programmer so I don't really care about your opinion when you say I wrote a spammy bot but I will respond to it for transparency especially since you are almost passive aggressively talking shit about me on this platform.
Nearly every tech firm you see in existence today utilized bots and automation to perform necessary tasks that help their business or their customers. You are ridiculous to think you can or should try to regulate the network by stopping people from coding things that interact with the blockchain in a programmatic way.
All you want to do is complaining but not offer any actionable solutions to the issue you seem to be so concerned about.
Let me see a post you make explaining how you plan to clean up the spam from the bad actors before I worry about the "spam" from the beneveolent programmers.
Kthx.
"Hey guys we have an entirely censorship proof system here and we are paying out of our own pockets (witnesses) to keep it running but @enjar with his 240 SP thinks we should change it all up. Scrap it all an start over boys"
Btw I didn't call in bots to prop up you comment for any reason other than to prove the worth of bots. To which you explained that you yourself use the bots you are calling spam or bad for the network.
I will keep in mind that you don't like upvotes and will ensure you don't get them from me. No problem there.
I will try to search it, I forgot to save that link yesterday. I have seen twice this incident happened and I think this witness only try to promote his working (software application) by upvote the user comment or posting.
