I have been trying to use Musing lately, but it feels like 99 % of all the posts follow the current formula:
Account 1 ask question with a title directly stolen from the title of a Quora question.
Account 2 then copy-pastes an answer from the same Quora page.
It's obvious that this is just people who spam in hopes to get upvotes from @musing, and it's also pretty obvious to me that these accounts are ran by the same people.
So how do we find real questions here on Musing? I'm starting to get very disencourged from using Musing all together with the current situation, because it's no use to spend my time replying to a spambot that just wants to milk money from @musing upvotes.
Recently, the spammers and plagiarizers have really ramped up their behaviors. We are well aware and have just added our own algorithm for detecting plagiarism. We give it a 110% effort to NOT upvote these plagiarized answers.
Additionally, we will be putting bans on these users. Any user that gets the ban will no longer have his posts appear on Musing.io. This will go into effect very very soon.
My experience with Musing was great at the beginning, but the spammers have really ruined for me now, so this ban function will hopefully make it a great place again.
The Steem Blockchain is immutable, that's true. But that does not mean platforms arent able to filter the signal from the noise. We'll soon see a much less spammy and much higher quality content on this platform.
Musing is still pretty much an MVP, so us early users really will have to bear the brunt of the bullshit that an early platform will face, abuse, spam, bugs, all that and 101 other things no one can predict.
I have full confidence in Musing though.. It's gonna be one of the Steem killer apps for sure.
So-ka ... you know i REALLY like your platform here, its clean and to the point, not too much bells and jingles with a decent agreeable layout as a bonus, focused on the information first (you hear it coming, right ?) but ...
You say algorithm so i assume that's automatic, dont you feel that's a bit dangerous ? I'm certainly not going to ask you to explain the mechanics. What if two people come up with the same question for instance ? Can it be abused by a troll to get someone else banned for instance ?
and if someone gets banned, how do they appeal if they feel it was wrong ? :)
always concerned about trolls and quality control lol , keep it man (or woman ...) or proably : people !
Please don't be banning us original quora s who are on here posting our original answers. I mark any that I do this with. My answers are my property to do with as I like. I post answers I put on here on quora as well. Cross pollination is a good thing. As long as it's your own content that is
All I know about musing.io is>
Musing.io is still positive, supportive, and progressive that makes the community. If you want to help or advise others, you can advise on Musing.io and suggestions by title.
Do not post links on channels that do not say postings in the title in post-campaign reflections. To post a link to Musing.io post can post your link every 24 hours and do not ask for votes from other users. English is the only language that is allowed in musing.io and does not use harsh words on the contemplating server.io keeps the vibrations positive. And if you get a warning, you'll be silenced from a thoughtful promotional channel.
you can search them by one to one and if you want you can see the tags as per topic but what is basically a real question is , what is the definition of real question,
Searching questions by tag still allows the spam to show. My definition of a real question is one asked by a user that genuinely wants to know the answer, and not a question asked by a spambot who just fish for upvotes.
you definately have a very nice question but you know what it takes times to settle things , musing giving people chance to interact and ask questions which you want to know and answer those questions which are you actually be aware of, but people take it for granted they just cant understand , this is a platform which is helping you and also giving you money to get help. for ex i have joined steemit 20 days back and i dont know that how to work so i started asking question which i need to know and not copying any question from quora because then what should be the purpose of musing.
I always ask real questions, straight up out of my twisted mind. They should probably come with a warning label. Consider this my warning label. I don't even know what quara is.
I also like the name "Musing" as a question and answer platform because it's so apt.
Musing (noun) - period of reflection or deep thoughts.
When someone say "He is musing over something", it means the person is thinking deeply about said thing, asking and wondering all the 'how','what','why' of the matter.
the word "Musing" also is a gerund of the word Muse.
Muse (verb) - be absorbed in thought.
So the founder of Musing had the aspiration that Musing is a place in the Steem Blockchain where people can entertain deep thoughts inspired by the questions they see here..
Incidentally, a Muse is one of the nine inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts in Greek mythology. One is said to be "blessed by a Muse" when inspiration struck there.
I got 1 downvote a few days ago and I reviewed my post if I violated any policy. Then I saw a post from another user telling that she also got downvotes and even her friends got downvotes even as far as they know they didn't violated any policy. I hope someone could answer this.
The downvoting is a feature that is meant to help
Reduce spamming on steemit because the downvoting was created as a feature which someone can use to downvote any post which they feel is of low quality or it is like spamming post
But these days the issue is that some people now downvote for no good reasons,some just want
To downvote people just to make their own content trend more than the downvoted content
There are spammers now downvoting for no good reasons,they just downvote as a way to hurt others or just do it for fun
Downvoting even become more effective when the person downvoting have huge steempowers,i have also seen some whales on steemit that downvote each other especially contents on the trending page of steemit
Downvote occurs when from Upvote, our post can be downvoted if it is considered doing plagiarism and copy paste or trace, or disliked by others who have a large SP (steempower) and it is very influential.
Flagging occurs when content is offensive and offensive and rewards the rewards we receive, many flag rewards, with Steem Power owned by someone, by flagging, in an instant rewards to $ 0.00.
jealousy , people are downvoting others because they dont see other earning money and they are not. because if you didnt like the content , you can directly comment and said why you didnt like a post but downvoting someone's effort is definitely not the right option,
@Zayedsakib had answered this question so I won't repeat it..
However I do like to stress that posts and comments don't actually get deleted on the Steem Blockchain, when you are editing a post/comment on Steemit, what you are actually doing on the blockchain level is to "overwrite" the comment and have Steemit show the new comment instead of the older one.
In fact even your upvotes and flags are registered on the blockchain the same way if there is any changes.. that is why you don't get your Voting Power back when you cancel a vote.
Accessing to any of the Steem blockchain explorer and you can see all of it.
Imagine you can leave a "hidden message" on the Steem Blockchain by editing it as soon as your posts gets registered on the block.
Although right now it's currently offline, but it should recover deleted posts /comments on the steem blockchain :)
For the edit, Just replace the url from say steemit.com/linktopost to "steemdb.com/linktopost". From their you will see an Edit History of the said post
You can, but you cannot do it directly using steemit. However you can use some other third party websites based on steem blockchain..Few examples would be
I've tried this recently on a post but these tools made it hard to see the actual edit history, because when you go to the page of the post, there's no history still. You only see that it had been edited. Maybe I didn't find where the link was though...
Yes bitcoin and altcoins are in huge dip and you can buy as this is the perfect time to buy any crypto coin you will get profit this is 100% sure.
Look after any safe coin and buy this will easily give you 5* return if you hold coin till 2018 end . You need to diversify your coins and buy different coins according to budget do not step in into one coin which might take some time to grow we cannot predict the future.
Buying a coin is always a tricky decision to make. Especially when we have large numbers of coins. Mostly what people do is to buy the most trending coin and try to avoid the small value alt coins.
I’m of the view to buy alt coins instead of BTC at the movement. The reasons behind this are:-
They are cheaper as compared to BTC. Therefore, I can buy different number of Altcoins in huge quantity.
Secondly, some Altcoins are at the movement undervalued and can have a great chance to excel.
Bitcoin, Stellar, Monero, Ripple, Ethereum, Neo and gas, Steem, Vechain Litecoin, Iconomi, ZRX, Omisego, Funfair, Salt, Iota, Powerledger, Storj, Basic attention token, Quantstamp, Cardano, Cindicator, Time new bank, Gifto, Aion, Augur, Golem, Ins ecosystem,
My biggest positions are Bitcoin, monero, stellar, vechain, ethereum, neo and steem. These are the coins i have the highest conviction in. I'm more bullish on some of the smaller altcoins but they have more chance to fail.
Most of these altcoin positions where only bought since May this year. With cryptocurrency so cheap i'm buying more every month, averaging down to the bottom.

This will Really help the community! I'm sick of seeing people abuse the platform with low/no effort answers.

Upvoted to get some visibility to we might get a discussion, or some great answers to this question, instead of it drowning in the sea of spam.
I always ask real questions, straight up out of my twisted mind. They should probably come with a warning label. Consider this my warning label. I don't even know what quara is.
What is the meaning of musing?
I like this question...
I also like the name "Musing" as a question and answer platform because it's so apt.
Musing (noun) - period of reflection or deep thoughts.
When someone say "He is musing over something", it means the person is thinking deeply about said thing, asking and wondering all the 'how','what','why' of the matter.

Incidentally, a Muse is one of the nine inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts in Greek mythology. One is said to be "blessed by a Muse" when inspiration struck there.
As per Google, Musing means a period of reflection or thought.
That is Musing reflects your thoughts in the form of answers or questions.
Why there's a lot of downvoting happening on steemit on the past few days even though posts didn't violated steemit's policy?

There has been a flag bot made by a few madmen. It's okay that they do not have voting power.
jealousy , people are downvoting others because they dont see other earning money and they are not. because if you didnt like the content , you can directly comment and said why you didnt like a post but downvoting someone's effort is definitely not the right option,
Is there a way to see comments that have been deleted on Steemit? Or if someone edits their post, is there an edit history?
I assume nothing every really disappears, does it?

Use any of those and go to the target account by using a similar url like this.
steemd.com/@(username). go there and scroll through the accounts activity.
There you will be able to see both delete history and edit history of comments and posts..

Oh what do you know, there's an edit history tab for steemdb. Not sure how I missed it.
China have a strong economy but weak stock market,why?
Is It Better To Buy Bitcoin Or Altcoins Right Now?

Yes bitcoin and altcoins are in huge dip and you can buy as this is the perfect time to buy any crypto coin you will get profit this is 100% sure.

Thanks 4 your positive response.

its better to buy it partially because altcoins will increase more times than bitcoin and bitcoin will increase when people bought it

Buying a coin is always a tricky decision to make. Especially when we have large numbers of coins. Mostly what people do is to buy the most trending coin and try to avoid the small value alt coins.
I’m of the view to buy alt coins instead of BTC at the movement. The reasons behind this are:-
They are cheaper as compared to BTC. Therefore, I can buy different number of Altcoins in huge quantity.
Secondly, some Altcoins are at the movement undervalued and can have a great chance to excel.
What is the maximum amount you have ever invested on bitcoin and what is your experience about it?
More ICO’s now in existence,is it good for the blockchain industry?
What is your crypto portfolio?
I currently own the following coins:
Bitcoin, Stellar, Monero, Ripple, Ethereum, Neo and gas, Steem, Vechain Litecoin, Iconomi, ZRX, Omisego, Funfair, Salt, Iota, Powerledger, Storj, Basic attention token, Quantstamp, Cardano, Cindicator, Time new bank, Gifto, Aion, Augur, Golem, Ins ecosystem,
My biggest positions are Bitcoin, monero, stellar, vechain, ethereum, neo and steem. These are the coins i have the highest conviction in. I'm more bullish on some of the smaller altcoins but they have more chance to fail.
Most of these altcoin positions where only bought since May this year. With cryptocurrency so cheap i'm buying more every month, averaging down to the bottom.
Is it necessary to have an investment manager whenever we want to invest?
