RE: Is Stem Assistant a first step in the management of communities and tags?

in #steemit6 years ago

It definitely looks promising @abh12345.

I like how tag "owners" are trying to protect them. I think the travelfeed tag has a bot that makes sure the posts are long enough, according to their tag usage criteria, before going forward to the curators.

This is all good news as far as I'm concerned.

If only we had a way to stop the spam accounts that follow us. They are easy to pick out by their statistics so, just out of curiosity, if I was a programmer could I write a script that could block such accounts from following me or is that something that only Steem inc could do?

Hi Gill

Yes I think it's good new too - can you tell? :)

Post length is a tricky one, but could be good for #travelfeed - not so good for 'art', that's why we need more tools to help.

I don't think you can stop someone following you, but you can put them on the ignore list?

Yeah I occasionally mute them @abh12345 but most of the time it's simply not worth the effort. There are so many of them. There was a string of 12 this morning that were immediately following some people's posts. I got off lightly with mine and only had the two.

I was thinking more that if they got caught in some sort of statistical filter, by enough people they would, eventually not be able to operate. I have no idea what they are doing. Well that's not true, two things come to mind.

One is to hope that people less aware follow them back and them they can use their big follower numbers to sell resteems.

The other is something about making money off very small votes. I read an article a month or so back about how it was done but didn't really understand it. But invovled having a lot a accounts making very small votes.

Sounds like a real pain, I seem to get only a few these days. Maybe i'm just not using the right tags :D

Ignore or downvote the obvious spam, and try not to let it get to you too much is all I can say really.

Is the sun out there? I'm about to go out and have a look :)

Yep. The sun is out.

Yesterday we had some wet stuff fall from the sky. Can't remember what you call it it's been so long.

I had to google how to open my umbrella! 😂

😂 here is a picture of the finished product in case you have forgotten ☂️

Yeah. Thanks @abh12345. I worked it out in the end. And just as well as it was quite a downpour.

Glorious sun again today though. 😁
