Hi, @ecency!
I have a question again regarding the boosting of posts. 😔
Is it considered normal to buy Ecency Points and use them to boost your own posts several times a day? I see users who are only doing this.

Well, I'll take your silence as a YES, then. 😊
Thank you.
Hi
Ecency points have multiple use cases and we don't know for what people use it. Our curators know to curate only unique authors everyday, so most of those people who try to game the system won't get boosted anyway because we want to encourage unique authors daily. Also posts are viewed with care from curators so quality of the content is also monitored. Please let us know if you find someone abusing the system.
Oh, thanks for the answer! Yes, I have known about your rules for a long time, so I am surprised that they are violated, and so clearly. I won't say the names out loud. In my opinion, it will not be difficult to check those who boost their posts several times a day (and at the same time check their quality, because, apparently, this is plagiarism).
Feel free to DM us (@good-karma) on discord with usernames. Our curators don't have resource of hivewatchers to do thorough diligence but we work with them closely and abusive accounts are notified promptly and curators are warned to avoid voting for them.
You know, the one I was talking about is so self-confident and stupid that he wrote to you in the comments yesterday complaining about downvotes. 😊 And yes, hivewatchers is already aware of plagiarism in his posts.
Hivewatchers and spaminor blacklists are incorporated recently, now our curators see if author is on their blacklist and make decision accordingly.
