RE: GK's Callout - New Spambot, 'Goodbot,' Unhelpful at Best 👈

in #automation7 years ago

Hi !
This is an automatic message.
According to SteemData, you have now used #introduceyourself 6 times.

You might not be aware of this, but #introduceyourself is mainly used by new accounts, to introduce themselves once. Please consider other, appropriate tags.

Sort:  

Lol, well, you weren't kidding! You blew your whistle and the bot came a'runnin! I agree. This is an unnecessary bot. Let the tag take care of itself. This is not a big deal. To be clear, Gk, are you saying that goodbot downvotes you as well as comments?

No it doesn't downvote. I would be calling it more than unhelpful if that were the case :P

Lol, got it! Sigh. I don't want to add to the numerous posts that I'm seeing lately on downvoting, spamming, and vote begging, but I'm getting quite alarmed by the number of times that I've seen established Steemians suggest that if the rest of us are not using the platform just how they want it to be used, then they'll use their significant downvote power to force the issue. I understand the concept behind the downvote, but I also am alarmed by it.

Yeah, like Im not gunna downvote goodbot or felixxx. I'd rather discuss it as a group. Clearly Felixxx identifies a problem. I can see it too. But yelling 1000 times into the void isn't necessarily fixing anything and it will definitely generate income and unnecessary clutter.

Hence, unhelpful at best :P

Introductions should run long on steemit, so we can know the person behind the posts!

The only reason you insist on the tag is that you get more exposure from it.

The only reason you bot is to get exposure and guilt others.

How's that ironic ?

That he called it and it came and spammed.
Useless bot imho.

Yeah you created it.
There are hundreds of these bots trashing the introduction pages of posts ?? it's ugly and turns people off. You need to tweak it to something other then what is now. I don't know what that is.

I agree, those bots are spammy and trash.

However, goodbot only comments, when a user decides to use the newbie-intro tag more than twice.

Those other spam bots are the spammers.
