RE: Musing Posts

in #musing-threads6 years ago

How do you find real questions on Musing?

I have been trying to use Musing lately, but it feels like 99 % of all the posts follow the current formula:

Account 1 ask question with a title directly stolen from the title of a Quora question.
Account 2 then copy-pastes an answer from the same Quora page.

It's obvious that this is just people who spam in hopes to get upvotes from @musing, and it's also pretty obvious to me that these accounts are ran by the same people.

So how do we find real questions here on Musing? I'm starting to get very disencourged from using Musing all together with the current situation, because it's no use to spend my time replying to a spambot that just wants to milk money from @musing upvotes.

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

All I know about musing.io is>
Musing.io is still positive, supportive, and progressive that makes the community. If you want to help or advise others, you can advise on Musing.io and suggestions by title.
Do not post links on channels that do not say postings in the title in post-campaign reflections. To post a link to Musing.io post can post your link every 24 hours and do not ask for votes from other users. English is the only language that is allowed in musing.io and does not use harsh words on the contemplating server.io keeps the vibrations positive. And if you get a warning, you'll be silenced from a thoughtful promotional channel.

That's all I am from reflection.

Sounds like the rules from a Discord server or something like that, and not a reflection :P

you can search them by one to one and if you want you can see the tags as per topic but what is basically a real question is , what is the definition of real question,

Searching questions by tag still allows the spam to show. My definition of a real question is one asked by a user that genuinely wants to know the answer, and not a question asked by a spambot who just fish for upvotes.

you definately have a very nice question but you know what it takes times to settle things , musing giving people chance to interact and ask questions which you want to know and answer those questions which are you actually be aware of, but people take it for granted they just cant understand , this is a platform which is helping you and also giving you money to get help. for ex i have joined steemit 20 days back and i dont know that how to work so i started asking question which i need to know and not copying any question from quora because then what should be the purpose of musing.

Upvoted to get some visibility to we might get a discussion, or some great answers to this question, instead of it drowning in the sea of spam.

I always ask real questions, straight up out of my twisted mind. They should probably come with a warning label. Consider this my warning label. I don't even know what quara is.
