RE: LESSON LEARNED - UPDATED INFORMATION - EDITS DO NOT COUNT AS NEW POSTS

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Wanna know what's funny? I have another point to add to my post...
...but I'm afraid to edit it. So I've decided I'm on board with everyone else that this isn't cool.

That point is that posts get "bumped" to the top of the Active pages when they get edited, which could be a vulnerability that spammers would exploit. They also get bumped when a comment is posted. So to fix this issue, they could simply remove "edit bumps".

Sort:  

I gonna freaking cry!

I'll be rob like crazy for my last post. Oh my god this is hard to take. I don't know why it wasn't mentioned in the release. I feel like this should have been mentioned even though it was obvious. Damn.

Agreed! This should have been mentioned ! Although this is nothing to be upset about guys!
How much would you have made posting these blogs on Facebook or Reddit? You're not losing money, you're just getting less free money!

Check it out, he posted this 40 minutes ago.

@dantheman has said that if this problem is indeed caused by edits, it's a bug.
Sounds as if this is not how they wanted to system to behave when it comes to edits.
Hang tight for further information.

Exactly. Edits should not count as posts, and edits should not bump activity :(

The good news is they don't count as posts. But they DO bump activity. I'll leave the latter up for discussion, but please accept my apologies for alarming you for the former.
