RE: Some thoughts regarding abuse fighting on Hive

in #abuse2 years ago (edited)

This is something I mentioned once when I was working for a certain curation project (acid give me a second opportunity, im a new man). HW has always been a pretty strict project that rather than trying to retain people, they just brag about finding plagiarism everywhere and get rewarded for it.

What is the real motive or intent behind all this? I mean, yeah, plagiarism and abuse in general are intolerable things and we don't want any of it because it detracts from the quality of the chain.. but why go to the point of persecuting and atociting a user so much to make them leave? Not all users are invited by responsible onboarders or people who are in charge of "guiding" them on the right path, and that is why we have to take them out of the chain instead of understanding the big picture? Furthermore: Why does a user within Hive (a decentralized chain) have to use a centralized platform to "get off the blacklist"? Honestly, that doesn't make sense to me.

I got to see firsthand how people decided to leave the platform for not following the "mandatory steps" to be pardoned for the crimes they committed.. XD. Just dumb.

I've always been one to try to understand, after all, I think Neoxian mentioned it: We are a small community, and why make it even smaller? This is something that seems pretty foolish to me, we are not in a situation where we can be more exclusive than we should be; just trying to be inclusive and empathetic that after all this is a new technology for the vast majority and not everyone gets here in the same way.

Anyway, the communities and their teams have made this an easier task. The "moderators" of the communities nowadays can easily tell when content is "out of place", you said it in better words.

They won't just be good at finding abuse but they'll also be more experienced and hands down with the authors posting in their community, they may pick up on things that would bypass others such as "I've read this author many times before but his/her new post seems like quite the leap in language/detail/knowledge, something's off

Anyway, this is already a lot of text XD. I guess Neoxian's post made this topic more relevant. I don't support HW on a lot of things, but I won't demerit the work they've done either. I still remember a certain anti-abuse group asking me for pictures of my national ID just to confirm my identity, bruh. Hopefully those times will never return for anyone.
