RE: Stop Rewarding the Follow-For-Follow/Great Post Crowd

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

It's going to be a tough behavior to combat, especially the more the platform grows.
I think a smart move would be to get a #spam trending.
So for example, if one of your tags for this post were #spam or #shitpost or #justlikeshitcoinbutyourblog 🤓
We could then all use this hashtag not only when we post about these kinds of things, but also when we find this behavior...using it in comments we leave on shitposters. This would allow said tag to trend and would allow us to not only easily find people doing this, but also to reward those who did find it with upvotes.
What do you think?

Sort:  

I think that is a stellar idea. It would correct behavior quickly when #shitpost showed up all over your account.

Maybe something less conspicuous. So the shitposters wouldn't realize what was happening. Something that was more a secret to those using it...like #kittenmittens
🤓

Even better. lol. #puppyleash

Just be careful, any tag you post on other peoples post can be posted back on yours. And if you start with a whale you can get -10 reputation with one click.

One must always be aware of one's actions. You can't always stop bad behavior, but you can curb the activities of new bad behavior.

Whales hardly make up even a fraction of the people being referenced
