Lets deal with the spam. Solution

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

There's so much spam from bots and dupe posts at the moment. I made a introduce yourself post and straight away got replies and votes from 6 or 7 bots. Then there's also the issue of crazy amounts of duplicated posts, posts talking about the exact same news topic and not adding anything new to the discussion when instead of re-posting these people could be adding to the discussion in one blog


I know the developers are working hard to make the site great and have systems planned to deal with many issues such as spam but maybe suggest to the rest of us what we can do to help besides flagging these posts.

Keep up the great work @tomaso88!

^^^^ this is exactly what i'm talking about :/

Hi, by the number of posts you produce I would say that you are spaming too. Have red only 2 post of yours though. People are mostly posting those things to see if they can earn something and vote on interduce because they think they may profit.. And for sure something need to happen so they don't post so much.
One proposal is blog post maxium per day in connection with your steempower, that would be unfair to smaller people, but would make them work harder on thier blogs.
Better sorting of content is also needed so someone would not post if something has been posted allready. But its free platform and all sorting is done by us, so we should do more and better curation of it.
That downvote thing realy doesn't work if u looking through new category, maybe some report system should be in place to stop overproducing of spam.

Not on purpose the search system is hard to use and a couple of time I posted I saw later some one already posted the same subject so I removed the upvote from my post and continued the discussion on the first posters blog.

Not everyone post dobule post intentionaly, but they just don't know how system works. You can get paid even after 2 months or even a year if your content is good. But system so far encourage you to spam content till you hit hot spot. There are tons of good old posts that people don't see. Preparation is half of job is saying in my country . If everyone would search and learn before they post we would be in better place right now. I love and hate this anarchy in some aspects, but it builds up more frustration than joy so far.
