RE: Anti-Spam in the Era of Bots and Automation

in #steemit9 years ago (edited)

I also feel the same: 9x cheetah clone bots downvoted a post to oblivion because it thought the tag was wrong.
If you are going to have one bot thats perhaps reasonable, but multiples? That is not anywhere reasonable in my view, centralized power.

Sort:  

I don't have much sympathy for posts abusing tags (like in this case, using the Photography tag for talking about money, and NO PHOTO in the post to boot).
But since there is some backlash (I guess people enjoy tag spam?), I will tone down that down.

Abusing tags is a problem steemit can solve by simply allowing curators to retag things from the comments.
It does not warrant the creation of automated censorship tools.
