RE: ✴️ ABUSE ON STEEMIT... WHAT CAN WE DO? SPAM, VOTING ABUSE, REWARD POOL RAPE, DRAMA, AND FLAGS!

in #charlesfuchs7 years ago

Personally, I don't really mind people making quite a lot of post per day, as long as they're posting quality content. And correct me if i'm wrong, but if you want to post quality content, writing a post takes some time. Maybe I could make it to 4 posts a day if I work all day long, but writing more would have an impact on the quality (I'm not saying that my articles are top quality - but I do try and I spend a lot of time doing research)

At this point in time, my main concern are all the spam/plagiarism posts that are not only posted, but also get loads of upvotes (which I don't understand at all). And more and more people keep upvoting that stuff, because they know those posts are real money-makers.

After reading this post by @bullishmoney I realized that we should find a way to make people stop rewarding content that doesn't belong on Steemit. If they won't get upvotes, that rubbish content will simply disappear (but there will still be the bots to misuse, unfortunately) .

I've been thinking bout setting up some sort of 'awareness campaign' to at least try to get people to ignore content that doesn't belong here. I'm still in the brainstorming phase, but I do add a banner at the bottom of every post reminding people to only upvote quality content.
Maybe I'm naive as hell, and this is a waste of time and/or plainly stupid, but I want to know that at least I'm trying...

Sort:  

the problem is that here is not voting precisely for quality but for popularity, but to be decentralized and free would add that the term quality is very subjective and what for someone can be quality for others not.

and it is good that there is freedom and the creativity of each one is released as it is without strict quality standards that nobody can know if they are true or not because as I say quality is subjective and for tastes are the colors, which we can not allow Absolutely not the abuse of the system, we can not allow this to be a place where a few big ones are something like the owners or bosses and they play with the system in their favor.
