RE: Honey Pots are coming! Get ready to help fight spam and earn doing so!
What do you think such a post can achieve?
Look at this post here.
I do not see any Spammer right away.
And payout is high.
Spammers come in numbers. Right now a better method is to count post/day and look at the frequency. Did you try that already?
And once you identified them, what are the next steps? Is @spaminator involved?
No I'm not involved in this.
I see some issues with it just with skimming it.
There are too many new non-english users that comment with something generic to start out without realizing it is spam. Unless they are self voting less than 20 different generic comments hardly constitute spam worth flagging in my book. Flagging this type of comment without a constructive comment is abusive in my opinion.
Same with random upvoting.
I don't see this providing any useful data beyond catching unsuspecting newbies and random voters along with the occasional advertising bot.
We appreciate you input, we feel that using the same concepts we have been utilizing for spam and phishing detection for email over the past 12 years can and should be applied to steemit. This is our hope and effort.
We are utilizing a number of techniques including spamfilters, reporting services, frequency analysis, and now adding honeypots. @spaminator is not affiliated or involved with ShadowBot currently.
