RE: Communities in STEEM: My First Contact
However one thing I don't like is the fact, that so far I couldn't find a way to "whitelist" those who can post on created by me community.
That will indeed be a problem. Once a group gains popularity and has a lot of subscribed reader there will be SPAMer to post into the group just to get more eyes onto their postings.
Of corse a while list would need to be build into the blockchain itself or SPAMer will just use an alternative interface or the STEEM API itself to post.
I have seen this happening both in GAB and Minds groups.
Using downvotes to solve all SPAM on the platform isn't enough.
I agree with the danger of spam and bombardment of unrelated content by malicious users, that is a problem that cannot be ignored and management tools are required to control it even a little.
Yes, the negative vote can be used to confront these malicious accounts, but I would prefer that there be ways to control that before having to get to the point of having to do a downvote.
