RE: Introducing @duplibot - Reducing rewards on comment spam

Nice post!

Nah, just messing with you I was going to leave it and make another comment but decided I wouldn't do that. I am not really a content creator, in fact I still have not made a post much less an intro post. I don't know why it has been such a problem for me? But, back to @duplibot. I don't post but I do comment a lot and to me if I did post I would rather see a meaningful comment that took a few minutes and a little thought than some one or two word comment. I would prefer they didn't leave a comment. I believe there are going to be some people that are always trying to game the system and I have found that the system or the community has a way to correct those issues without having a bunch of "police bots" or people that want "power" over others. I have mixed feelings on the use of bots and I have those same mixed feelings about what you are doing. Part of me likes the idea and part of me feels who or what gives you that authority? I guess it is me being a Gemini, I am really not sure. I will say that you are taking it slow and asking for feedback. I don't know anything about the bandwidth issues, except from what I learned from your post. The other positive is you are doing it manually for right now. I do think that making a bot takes some thought and work, but the platform the way I understand it doesn't want people to have multiple accounts, but bots are actually creating multiple accounts. I know some people have a personal account and say a business account and I am okay with that. Since bots are now part of the platform I have learned to live with them. I upvoted and resteemed this post, granted it isn't much but I think you are trying to improve the community and that is worth something. I guess time and the community will determine if duplibot survives. Good luck and if I see you around I know it won't be because I am posting spammy comments, maybe for long comments, but then maybe we should have a bot that finds those comments. Just something to think a bot. lol Have a good one.

I appreciate the candor about your mixed feelings, I'm still trying to reconcile a few points of my own! I'm learning so much every day and evolving so I think I'll find a good place to settle in. Thanks for the resteem and your genuine thoughts and support!
