RE: Potential solutions to stop, restrict or disincentivize bots & alternatives for better bots - 🤖 BOTS! 🙀 Act 3
That was a long post, glad I made it through it! My thing with bots is they shouldn't be up voting or down voting content. Flagging should be another option left to real people. Implementation of a captcha on items we want humans to do might be the best answer.
Yes it was, thank you for reading it!
Captcha really can't work, it could only work on a website not the blockchain. In fact this was a central point I was hoping to get across in the post 😕
We could slow them down with flagging limits per day, voting limits per day and make that the case for everyone. You could also let users vote on accounts stating if they are human or not. When enough accounts downvote their activity could be limited or stopped for periods of time. This would allow real people to police bots that behave badly.
I would not support any of these ideas, but it's interesting to see them none the less. Especially determining on an official blockchain level whether an account is a bot account or not, it should not matter.
Under my Hard Fork Solution proposal though, you'd be able to down vote posts by suspected bot accounts if you disagree with bots and do it that way. Though I wouldn't personally agree with that I think it would be a totally reasonable way to use your voting power.
