RE: Steemit New User Tracking feature - Proof of Concept - 2nd Update
Good progress on this.
It would be interesting to see how many new users add their country to their profile.
Thank you
The Steemit Team
For capturing spammers one test might be to look for posts with multiple exteranal urls / links.
And maybe also posts with just a few characters - perhaps less than say 15.
That won't catch all but might catch a significant proportion of spammers.
Thank you.
Sure, I am already pulling User’s profile information so it will be easy to show country as well on the Grid view(if user has updated this information under profile section)
For capturing spammers - yes, I can check the characters count of their post and external urls. I am already calling blog API so performing these validations using program would be straight forward.
Thanks a lot for suggesting these test scenarios.
Also, I verified that many blog posts URLs are not showing actual blog page on Steemit and shows “page not found”. E.g url: xcvxcv/@user/xcvsdf. so i am also planning to check this using program and if it returns “page not found”. i think i can mark those as spam.
I will share few such blog urls here and will try to validate this logic.
true, it might catch a significant proportion of spammers.
