Suggestion to eSteem for spam and plagiarism

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

In Steemit, there are users who have realized that they can get constant votes from esteem etc. apps. They are constantly creating new accounts. They post a few random posts and comments with these accounts through the day. Cheetah sometimes catches these and sometimes is unable to identify them.

And many are being identified by users organically, flagged or are sent to SteemCleaners team. But there is nothing to prevent them from posting next time.

It is almost impossible to make a profit from posting spam on Steemit.

But through esteem this kind of a hole forms. I think we should prevent users from using this method. I think that spam and plagiarism will decrease substantially by doing this.

And for the way of doing this, for example, if esteem is using python;

  • if the reputation score is lower than 25
  • if the post has been flagged by blacklist
  • if cheetah has commented

don't give rewards.
it can reject to vote for that post with these kinds of commands. In this way, the profit gates for the people who use bots and who posts constantly using fake accounts, the ones who aim for a few cents of profit and people who post spam-plagiarism content will be closed.

If they would be interested in such a method, the accounts that give random votes like esteem can share the data of blacklist and choose to reject voting or that can make their own team of moderators and make their own list. And by this, the bots that post a few sentences or post a photo might choose to give up because they won't be making a profit.

Many of us are not paying attention to this because it doesn't work, but we can do what we need to do to solve this from its source and give feedbacks to owners of this kind of apps.
.

reputationLimit = float(25)
if not (float(reputation) > reputationLimit): continue

oyo=file("blacklist.txt","r"); oylar=oyo.read(); oyo.close()
if account in blacklist: continue
else: oyc=file("blacklist.txt","a"); oyc.write(str(account+"\n"));

This is what I came up with, but since you are the pros at this I don't worry about python. I just want to help you with an idea
