RE: Has the @cheetah bot turned into yet an other comment bot style scam?

in #abuse7 years ago

I looked at these examples: none of them seem to be "false positives". ALL of them had an element of copy-paste to them. (note: make sure you also check the edit history of posts: a lot of people "delete" their previous post by editing it, and then repost it.)

Waste of my time.

The only issue I see here is you. You're the only one who hasn't gone through the whitelisting process and therefore you are the only one who is getting comments on your reports. (And, the reports contain copy paste -- THAT'S NOT A FALSE POSITIVE).

Other people who frequently post reports do not have the issue you are having, because they bothered to go get themselves whitelisted.


So, I will say the following again:

Seems you either a) didn't read how to get yourself whitelisted and are just whining that life doesn't hand you things on a silver platter, or b) you did read, and didn't bother to take action so you could use it to further your agenda. Message me or @patrice. The lists ARE updated and maintained.

And secondly, I am still waiting for your volunteered time.

Interesting view. When I looked at them MOST appeared to be false positives. Either automated posts based on recent stats, or things like photo posts of unrelated photo's.

As for my Watching The Watchers posts, they too are meant as a public service.It is 'my'responsibility to keep the whitelist up to date. For me, that means whitelisting accounts that do 100% curated or automated flagging of abusive content. For me, this also means I'm currently 'NOT' sharing my comment-bot upvote attenuating away bots because I don't have the whitelisting in order yet and it currently would attenuate upvotes of @cheetah comments. It's my responsibility to make sure @cheetah gets whitelisted as not being a comment bot in the same way, that, in my opinion, it's 'your' responsibility to make sure @pibarabot and @entact get whitelisted for automated stats based posts. Writing a HOWTO that describes that you should connect with me on EFnet if you feel you should be whitelisted doesn't absolve me from my responsibility to maintain my own whitelist.

As for donating time, I'm a bit busy right now working on asyncsteem, but as soon as i'm past the 1.0 release I'll be happy to donate some time to @steemcleaners and spent some time on making my away-bot collection (that will be ported to asyncsteem) contain a few bots that consider @steemcleaners posts as authoritative.
