RE: Case 11: Aliexpress and some voting-bots, making rewards without an effort!

I think it would be interesting to calculate a "worth to upvote" threshold.
Where minnowbooster would calculate a certain ratio between links/images/text.
Nevertheless, they might change their posts to include a huge list of tags in the text to avoid that.

I order to solve something semi automatic might be nice.
Using the treshhold calculated early. But, this time allow minnowbooster to vote and send an email to the admins so they might remove the vote and bann the account.
Over time this calculation might be improved.

"Worth to upvote" that's a great idea. But how to scale it properly? New talented minnows have no "worth" to measure automatically. A post with a good vlog might not qualify to the "worth" ratio as described above, while a plagiarized post could...
Finding a solution to help minnows and prevent boosting the "un-worthly" is probably best done via a blacklist at the moment. @reggaemuffin I'd suggest manual blacklisting based on @sherlockholmes, @cheetah and @steemcleaners reports. I think there are willing and qualified people at the MB discord channel to help reach consensus over accounts to blacklist and ban from using the service.

Btw: I used MinnowBooster on my last post, look how it catapulted my blog suddenly. Your service is much much appreciated!!

Our first step is allowing all MB moderators to blacklist users. We then could have a reporting channel where people can discuss. And then go from there if a more sophisticated approach is needed.

Glad you like the service we provide, tip!

That's the right approach. Simple, practical, do-able and smart.

What is this tip! voodoo magic??

It is a pretty cool bot 😎

Must be a german who coded it.

Well minnowbooster is coded by a German 😜 I think tipu is too, but you would have to ask @cardboard yourself

wot? tipu isn't you?

Now I gotta beat the shit out of one of my little birds.

I'm just an early adopter 😜 the concept is great and I think beneficial to the steem network

Yes, I agree that steemit needs to have a quality control system.
