RE: #Twitter-Posh upgrade discussion, community input appreciated

in OCD3 years ago

The only issue, and there's been few instances of this, are those cheating their way to twitter likes and retweets with bots/paid services. They are easy to detect though and can easily be banned from receiving posh tokens. There will definitely be nomination traders with this approach but it's slightly better than the constant self-nominating we've seen so far and might encourage people to go out there and nominate new people they aren't already friends with who will notice their post got not only shared on Twitter but also for ocd curation and may appreciate it enough to give the poshtoken comment an extra vote and thank the sharer, etc. That would be the best outcome of this and worth the experiment imo.

Wow, paying Twitter bots to get more community rewards is horrible. I'll admit I'm not too active or engaging on Twitter, but some people are. I just post my blog because it's another index and good for SEO.

Nomination trading is the phrase I was looking for. I'm guessing you will know how to tackle it if this becomes a problem.

Since becoming active again, I've noticed engagement is still surrounding a few focal points. Most of the focal points definitely deserve it, and you can't stop people from chasing money with reasonable effort and honesty. But, I really hope to see a lot of activity and success all over the place.
