RE: New Personal Policy: Flagging all zero-value-add vote/follow begging comments.

in #steemit7 years ago

I did this for a while, but it is time/energy consuming; I had a policy of leaving a comment along with the flag
remove the spam, and I will remove the flag

only about 25% of the spammers even gave a damn to remove the spam

Sort:  

of course, they wont remove it, they dont even read the replies, so yeah, dont feel bad! we cant just give away our precious steem money to people just trying to make money off spam!!!!
We cant feel bad or guilty! And sometimes we just feel bad for "hurting" the chances of some dvelopingw orlder making money but honestly we cant reward bad behaviour

we should do classical pavlovian conditioning experiments with conditioned stimuli, psychology experiments with steem, see if we can change behavior with operant conditioning too
