RE: An idea for a bot to help combat the comment spam
A conversation would only be penalized once and then only if the main post was not upvote or the post's aurtor was not followed. Even then the x:1 ratio I suggest would mean if you would only get on the blacklist if you were commenting on more than x times more post than you vote on. As you are likely following some of the authors that inspired you to comment, the fact that you only have 10 votes should get you or the bot's blacklist. And if I see an honest author on the blacklist I will adjust x so as there are off it. The bot will not be released until I am sue not innocents are getting on the blacklist
I don't understand what is wrong with building community by chatting without voting. We vote when we wish to reward an author. We chat when we wish to communicate something. The 2 are not related.
