CommentWealth Week 1 UpdatesteemCreated with Sketch.

in #comments7 years ago


CommentWealth has been up and running for one week now, and we can report some good things!

First, we'd like to say thank you for the SP delegations CommentWealth received from @geke, @lexiconical, @jimitations, and @daoine-sidhe. Our total SP currently sits at 3,500. Thanks to this infusion of Steem Power, CommentWealth is able to help move valid comments up above the spam... that is, when we encounter them. Right now this is all human-powered, and eventually we'd like to "delegate" some of this work out to a CommentWealth bot. But first we'd need to know that such a bot will be safely obeying Asimov's three laws. 🤖🤖🤖

CommentWealth has also developed several comment scripts for responding to comment spam:

CommentWealth trolls for trolls and spams the spammers... please be aware @----- that consistent spam comments like yours might eventually result in flags, which hurt your reputation and earning potential. Next time, read the post before commenting, and engage with the author in a way that builds true community here on Steemit!

Linking to your own posts in another Steemian's comment thread is really bad form. Next time, try engaging with the author in a way that builds true community here on Steemit!

Over the last week we've used the above scripts 27 times and we're proud to report that, as a result, we've received one apology and one downvote. Guess that all evens out. 😊

Our curation rewards are just starting to roll in now that our first week is in the bag, and as we suspected, comment curation tends to be more lucrative than post curation, especially for minnows like us. Keep that in mind when curating your own comments!

Once we grow past minnow and even dolphin status, we'll begin flagging spam, but as we're still minnows ourselves, that activity will have to wait a while.

Please let us know your thoughts on our Steemit service in... the comments! After all, that's where community happens.

What is CommentWealth? Read our Introduction post to learn more about us and what we do. And don't forget to check out our Minnow's Guide to Comment Curation, with lots of useful information to help minnows develop a loyal following on Steemit, all through managing their comment threads.

As I said elsewhere, it makes me super happy to see this initiative... after six months of Steemit, I have really honed in on commenting and comments curation as one of my cornerstones to building community... I may not be a "whale" but at least I can help worthy comments around the site... and we have some amazing commenters on Steemit who don't necessarily post a lot of original content of their own. Check out @enjar, for example.

I'll check out @enjar, for sure. Thanks. Checked out your work, as well and you seem to be doing it right! I don't do much social networking with the CommentWealth account and don't do any post upvotes at all, but look for my interactions under my main account, @geke. Nice to meet you!

I like the comment spam scripts you have come up with. They are well-worded, considerate to the people who just don't know any better, and helpful because they actually give a suggestion on how to improve behavior. Great progress for your first week! Since I am new I am still figuring out what to do, and how to interact in the community. I have not figured out Discord yet.

Are you on Discord? If so send me a private message ( @geke ) and I'll be glad to show you around!

Thanks very much! I just got done creating my discord account, and will attempt to PM you now.... Well, evidently I can't figure out how to PM here. Discord says I need your discord tag #0000 to add you as a friend there. Is this a number that it is better not to put out publicly? I can post mine here for you, but I thought I better check on the security of that before doing it.

very nice; It's always fun to read your post sir @commentwealth Keep going

Thanks @katy-adelson - btw, the writer behind these posts is actually a female (@geke) 😉

Great update @commentwealth thanks for sharing
