RE: Project Update: we-resist-bot
I am curious if there are posts on Steemit that talk about the types of voting abuse your bot can help to identify. As a less technical user, it would be super helpful to have a rundown post descrbing ligitamate uses vs abuses of the voting system and bots. Perhaps I need to write one if it does not exist :)
Well, types of voting abuse we're aiming for right now are:
Self-voting is a slippery slope, but in most cases it's cool. Where it gets abusive is when your take from the reward pool is like $3000/week for self-voting comments. That's pretty bad.
There are a lot of bad actors in the system right now. Reporting helps us to identify them, linked accounts, and other abusers working in the same group.
