RE: Global Blacklist API Proposal

in #sps5 years ago (edited)

Question:

  • What is the resolution process to get yourself off this list?
  • How can we audit this list?
    • For example, not only see who's on the list but why they are on the list.
    • How many warnings did they get?
  • What individual(s) approves an account to be added to the blacklist?
    • Is it a single person or a committee?
    • Who votes in these individuals?
    • How can they be removed from the committee?
  • Who are the actual individual(s) that need to be convinced to have an account removed from blacklist?

@themarkymark, I would appreciate a response to these questions and please stop downvoting anyone who replies to me. Just makes you look like a dictator.

Sort:  

Each blacklist has their own resolution/appeals process.

Each blacklist has their own process for adding people to the blacklist.

Again, it's up to the individual blacklist. The API only supports the blacklists that are created and maintained by the community.

So, all your building in a API that can connect to any generic blacklist?

In other words, you can have 30 different lists out there, each one with their own criteria for adding/removing to the list?

Kind of yes, it is an API that takes 10 different blacklists throughout the community and provides a standardized interface for projects and dapps to query if a user is on any of the blacklists.

I provide one of the largest and most active blacklist and supply access to 9 others as well as all the tribes.

For your blacklist, being the most active one, do you have documentation on my questions above?

My blacklist is solely managed by me, it is public but no one else contributes. There is an appeals channel on my Discord.

Not trying to attack you, but don't you see this as a type of dictatorship? You're literally a centralized source of authority. And I know that others can do the same thing, but do they really have the same power and clout as you?

If it was centralized, there would be only one blacklist.

A blacklist doesn't prevent someone from posting and earning. It is a warning sign that someone is a bad actor.

There is no police or law on Steem, so it is up to the community to police itself. Most people are unable to and don't want to put the effort in to prevent spam, abuse, harassment, plagiarism, and scams.

Some of us go out of our way and put a lot of time trying to keep the community clean and safe.

I was blacklisted by steemstem community and I have no idea who they are. I've been off steemit for about a year....there is no information on how to resolve a blacklist by separate entities.

I'd like to start my own blacklist, is there a post or some other link that you know of that could help me get started?

Any text editor would do.

Wow the first person with some real important questions!! This whole black list is so stupid, just let the people decide who to block / mute! ??Supposed to be a public blockchain so let the public decide!

OMG don't tell me they are going to give him money to do this! I'm getting out of steem ASAP if this goes through! steemit future looks sucky with marky mark in charge!

I feel like these should be some very obvious questions and I'm sure he's got this documented somewhere. I just don't know where to look for that info, which also makes this very confusing.

Also, I don't think he likes you. You're the second person to reply to me where you get downvoted and hidden. I really wish it was harder for rich people to downvote and suppress your comments. I mean, I'm ok with posts being "hidden", but it should happen due to a large number of actual people all agreeing to hide your posts. Not just one person. It's an extreme imbalance of power.


If you are wondering why he is flagged.

He also posts 8-12+ automated posts of a single image sunset photo a day and upvotes it. He also goes around and flags all the comments for people who post on people's posts and harasses people.

He's a spammer and toxic troll. He had plenty of chances to turn himself around, but he is unable to control himself.

wow, well ok then. Hard to argue against that.

fuck you dick, i take back your uovote and downvote you for mocking me! fuck this guy shoukd die! fuck off

That screenshot says 10 days ago but maybe the screenshot was taken more than 10 days ago...

LOL.

Totally that is the crux of my entire issue, why I have outbursts and such!
