RE: For Those Who Do Not Receive Support From Steemcurator
I do wonder if we've already reached (and passed) the tipping point where the number of scammers outweighs the number of genuine users - there are certainly more accounts intent on scamming in some way than there appear to be writing genuine content. The power that ac-cheetah has is a huge step in improving things.
I've also been thinking about the difficult task that you've faced - especially with people using the club5050 or club100 tags when they're withdrawing all of their power.
I'm thinking that another bit of automation is on the cards where I filter the posts by steemexclusive and club100 tags and sort them by the length of the post - and then look at the account's transfers and if they have any going out, they're removed from the list. Similarly if they have the krsuccess hashtag or are upvoted by UpVu, Tipu or one of the other well known voting bots. This would leave you with posts that have presumably taken a lot of effort to write and have potentially been overlooked - especially if I also remove posts that have received booming or steemcurator votes already. Perhaps also only highlighting posts that have received fewer than (let's say) 10 upvotes. I'll have a bit more of a think and see what API steemchiller provides but I could potentially automate a daily list for specific tags... 🤔
I admire the capabilities of programmers. You are here like a fish in water. You can work miracles. Such automation would definitely make life easier for everyone.
Regarding the number of fraudsters. In my opinion, they outnumber bloggers in number and power. I see no reason why this should change. The biggest problem is the bid bots that fund them.
Today I suffered a bit from automation. About two weeks ago I joined the Downvote Trail, it turned out that when my Downvote power reaches 0 then my voting power is used. Today I saw that 15% of my voting power was gone.
I'm getting there 🙂 I need to work out all of the bidbots and exchanges and the users who upvote if you've delegated to them - like justyy. Having looked into this before, do you have a list saved anywhere of the voters I should be adding to the "ignore" list?
Yes, I learnt that lesson with endingplagiarism. I think you should be able to set a limit for their bot to stop - mine's something like 15% or 20%.
I have a list, but I'm sure it's not exhaustive:
upvu
tipu
upmewhale
shy-fox
justyy
sct.krwp
coin-doubler
robiniaswap
nutbox.mine
boomerang
bot-api
successgr.with
gotogether
templar-kr
heroism
support-kr
steemvote
bidvote
xiguang
That's great, thank you. Just me double checking, anybody who receives an upvote from any of these accounts has delegated or bought a vote?
Here is a list of all bid bots. Some with the possibility of delegation, others with the possibility of purchase, or both at the same time. I did not split the lists because the Steemit team rules state that you cannot delegate or buy.
How does this sound to you...
Some accounts transfer steem to other users for contest prizes so they won't necessarily be 100% power up and the club100 tag isn't widely used.
I can add filters for specific tags and remove more (I don't want to add a query for delegations because it's already quite slow to run (it's looping through approximately 600 posts for a day)).
So I could create a report for a "lifestyle" set of tags for example 😉
It's not perfect and some manual checking will be required still but it'll shortcut a lot of the effort involved in searching through every community 🙂
Sounds just incredible. Everything is perfect. Maybe instead of club100 you can add a filter for club5050, if technically possible.
I see you like what you can do here on the platform :)
I like doing things like this, it's a nice challenge 🙂
In my output, I list all of the tags used in the post too - the methodology should ensure club100 so we can support people without the hashtag but if you're only supposed to upvote posts that contain that tag, it'll be visible by each post.
The hardest part now... thinking of an appropriate name and some imagery 🤔
Cool. thanks. I've got 2 lists - one removes people who have been voted by specific users, the other is a list of all exchanges and vote buying. There's some overlap but that's ok. I'll need to keep adjusting it but I'll have it up and running today 🙂
Oh, and I also remove posts that have already been upvoted by steemcurator01 or steemcurator02. I could add others like booming but some good posts get upvoted by both. I should probably also remove posts that have been supported by steemcurator 03-08 too.
Yes, I think they also need to be removed.
I've almost finished the code 🙂 What's the time period for club100 to be true? Is it no withdrawals within the past 3 months?
😮 Yes, three months.
