RE: Re: to @dantheman "notice-to-bot-spammers"
I'm afraid that this will not work. It is very easy to create bots and have them spam the chain with posts. OTOH it is a lot of work to determine if an account is a spam bot. Witnesses couldn't keep up with that.
@joseph
I can not comment much about spam bots, I think this is the case not only at the site steemit.com, but I'm sure if the team steemit also acting in it and willing to listen to ideas from the community
I am sure the community will help with this, if that ever becomes an option. Witnesses would not have to look for these spam accounts, a list would be compiled and investigated. It would take less than a minute to ban 50 spam accounts in the cli wallet.
I don't think it should matter if they're a bot or not. If they're behaving like one, seeya.
Just because it might turn out to be an actual person, why should their bot-like behavior be any more tolerated?
I really do wish it was possible tho cause i absoutely hate them defintely kill joys
