Recently, the spammers and plagiarizers have really ramped up their behaviors. We are well aware and have just added our own algorithm for detecting plagiarism. We give it a 110% effort to NOT upvote these plagiarized answers.
Additionally, we will be putting bans on these users. Any user that gets the ban will no longer have his posts appear on Musing.io. This will go into effect very very soon.
Thank you! This is exactly what I wanted to hear.
My experience with Musing was great at the beginning, but the spammers have really ruined for me now, so this ban function will hopefully make it a great place again.
The Steem Blockchain is immutable, that's true. But that does not mean platforms arent able to filter the signal from the noise. We'll soon see a much less spammy and much higher quality content on this platform.
Musing is still pretty much an MVP, so us early users really will have to bear the brunt of the bullshit that an early platform will face, abuse, spam, bugs, all that and 101 other things no one can predict.
I have full confidence in Musing though.. It's gonna be one of the Steem killer apps for sure.
I agree; Musing will have a bright future for sure.
So-ka ... you know i REALLY like your platform here, its clean and to the point, not too much bells and jingles with a decent agreeable layout as a bonus, focused on the information first (you hear it coming, right ?) but ...
You say algorithm so i assume that's automatic, dont you feel that's a bit dangerous ? I'm certainly not going to ask you to explain the mechanics. What if two people come up with the same question for instance ? Can it be abused by a troll to get someone else banned for instance ?
and if someone gets banned, how do they appeal if they feel it was wrong ? :)
always concerned about trolls and quality control lol , keep it man (or woman ...) or proably : people !
This will Really help the community! I'm sick of seeing people abuse the platform with low/no effort answers.
This was long coming. Plagiarized answers are indescribably annoying..
Please don't be banning us original quora s who are on here posting our original answers. I mark any that I do this with. My answers are my property to do with as I like. I post answers I put on here on quora as well. Cross pollination is a good thing. As long as it's your own content that is
