RE: I will Flag all spammy comments
They are becoming a real problem! I posted on this a bit yesterday, but had the feeling it bothers me more than most people, but maybe not than you. A real issue is that these accounts area actually earnings rewards for their copy/paste robo comments, if they continue to get upvotes they will continue to spam, and more and more of them will arrive. It's much easier than actually reading the material and having a thought. Downvoting is good, and all we can do individually...but the problem really needs to be fixed in the code. Cheers
I think it is kind of hard to code this one in, manual is better as a computer can not distinguish normal comments from spam comments.
Comments that are identical and posted frequently I think are always spam, maybe it only removes 20% if you stop allowing that, but its still 20% less. Example below:
djmalith doesn't seem to be a bot however.
Probably a guy that want's to earn some Steem here but isn't very good at writing.
Not a very good strategy to create quality content but it does give him some followers.
I think it's better to give these kind of users a warning that Copy Past posts aren't very helpful to the platform.
Yo're right, he might not be a bot. But I don't think that saying that he isn't good at writing should be an excuse. We should remember that Steemit doesn't have moderation and if we will not do anything about it we will drown in shit like this.
