Hey @joseph ,
If you, and some other bigger fishes in steemit, pay a bit, I am willing to write a bot that automatically flags comments like that.
100 SBD will be enough, I guess.
(There's also another way - when I post the script, simply reblog it, and tell some other big people to reblog it as well. This will earn me pretty much the same amount.)
(I will write the script, but someone else will have to run it.)
Dangerous path my friend. I would like no part in someone that has no vested interest in making sure that steem grows deciding what posts of mine to censor. Pretty sure that many feel the same way. If I want to post a comment that says "nice!" who are you to create a bot to block it? If you don't like comments like that...don't publish posts or mute all of your followers so you don't see their comments. No need to pay you to write a simple filter script and help spread censorship by supporting or posting it. Against the spirit of this platform. Just my thoughts because guess what...you can do what you want. I can't censor you from doing it. Neat how that works in your benefit too hey? Steem on one word comment leavers, it's your right to do that on here, and steem on censor promoting people, it's your right to do that on here. No support of your script idea from me my friend. Maybe reconsider your stance as you are obviously interested in profiting from creating a bot to stop people from profiting. A bit long but it took off when I began writing. #freedom
Good points, but it is not hard to destinguish between people and bots.
If somebody posted 10 comments with the same text in topics that were just opened when he posted, then the chances are pretty slim for this person not being a bot
I see what you are saying. I think that the right way is to change the game...convince the creators of steem and the 200,000+ users you are right. Like I said, don't hate the player, hate the game. I am a player in the game, if I just decide I want a new rule for all that doesn't make it a rule. Writing your own rule to censor bots off of everyone's feed I still think is wrong.
Write the code to protect your own account and offer it to people who are interested in it only? Maybe that is your answer.
Or...find out how to change the entire game.
I have no choice but to obey any rule change made by everyone including the developers. Get them to agree and allow them to code in the changes.
Finally...I am not saying that I support bots, saying I support the game as it is. I still will always enjoy a "good post" comment left on my posts.
You will not have enough bandwidth to make a dent. You might want to suggest this to steemit team.
I don't need huge bandwidth.
The script doesn't need to punish for every offence. Catching every 10th is also good. It is good enough to show that comment spam is not really profitable, and that's the point.
Dan has been flagging them. They come bitch in Steemit Chat after.
