Hi @kayclarity ...I'm currently reading your post/blog and the responders about spammers and such and really haven't had a chance to look at what's there...now I'm just a bit paranoid about outside links...links in here too? I just don't know what I've gotten myself into.
@doule posted here...it seems he's perhaps guilty of spamming as well...idk...I see the same post from him now a lot...kinda like you notice a the car you just bought driven by others everywhere you go.
I've really got to sort my thoughts out about the risks I'm taking to my security here. I sort of thought Steemit would have that all covered. Just don't understand why they allow it...must be some kind of law I guess.
Excuse my babble here...I think I'm where you were when first arriving...the flight or fight instinct kicks in...good to see you fighting...I'm still in the deer in the headlight stage...atm
You can actually go and check their comment stream to verify. Similar comments are a little inevitable (just like when you meet people in real life), but if it's literally a copy & pasted message over and over.. THAT is problematic spam.
Spamming here, so far, doesn't seem to be an external links issue so much as just new users trying to get a huge following fast using debatably unethical means. That make sense?
Don't let them ruin it for you! Maybe just don't worry about them for now.. just try to enjoy :) Most people here are honestly phenomenal. Some feel like friends already. xx
yer a peach...thanks for taking the time...and yes it makes sense
don't understand why they don't have an algo that spots the obvious stuff here...still it's not like it's much ado about nothing...will look more into the sweepers...but really not the vigilante type
Must keep a tidy place...company's coming...by the droves and we want to make them feel at home ;-)
Sounds good :). Enjoy! And.. I'm in Canada as well! Cheers!
lol...no wonder you make so much sense to me...jk...don't want to be accused of being region-centric ;p
You have fun too oxo
