RE: How-to solve SPAM and Democratize Steem: Introducing UserAuthority

in #utopian-io • 6 years ago

New users, myself included, who have little/no userauthority, will be equated to the bots - is my understanding of your proposal correct?

    Good question! Short answer: no, you're not seen as a bot, at all!
    Longer answer: the proposed mechanism is extendable with all sorts of metrics, that combined identify bots / spammers extremely accurately, distinguished from new users, like you, and more prominently: me! (my own account is brand new!).

    Examples:

    • very low UA, very high amount of posts (that's a sign, right? lots of messages but nobody follows..)
    • very low UA, very high rewards (that's even stranger!)
    • very low UA, yet it has lots of followers (spooky....!)
    • very high UA, zero posts (hmmm, that seems like a passive whale account...)
      etc.

    PS: in case an account has zero followers (new accounts), they are not found on the total link graph. Yet they are easily includable via a "NewUsers bot", detecting accounts with zero followers, and following them for inclusion within the follower graph.

    Thank you for explaining this! I know I am not a bot, let's hope Steemit will also know it : D

    Steem then first needs to implement my code via HF21 ;-) But Utopian-IO probably will do so before that!
