Update of the Steem Sincerity feature
After releasing the Steem Sincerity Anti-Spam integration to SteemPlus, I have collected your feedback from the comments and decided to make a small adjustment. These will
Although I made pretty clear that the main purpose was to help training the machine learning algorithm, some have voiced concerns about the false positives in the Bot and Spammer categories. Our intention was never to discriminate these accounts but rather to let people give feedback to correct those errors.
This being said, we understand that being classified as a spammer when you are not can be frustrating so we decided to add a new category "Pending" used when the algorithm is unsure of the result.
This is how it will be done :
- If the biggest percentage is attributed to Human category, the user is considered Human
- If the biggest percentage is attributed to Bot category and is over 80%, the user is considered as a Bot
- If the biggest percentage is attributed to Spammer category and is over 80%, the user is considered as a Spammer
- Otherwise, the user category is set as
Tell us, and other users are welcome to rate this account.
A more than 80% attribution to those categories will find strong similarities with manually selected Spammers or Bots and will prevent having the many false positive that we currently have.
It also mean that we will have a lot of Tell us in the first place.
Therefore, we count on you to help us classify all those Pending accounts!
@stoodkev for @steem-plus
Glad I'm still a "human"
{beep}An excellent update. Really it is very useful. I am going to vote you as a witness. Around 60 community members selected me as their proxy for witness voting. I hope it will be much helpful to encourage like this good updates and services. At present, I am working on my tab. Once i reach my home and login in my pc, i will vote your as witness. Thanks once again for this much of good service.
Thanks a lot! Looks like you forgot to cast the vote though ^^
Great job @stoodkev!
Just noticed that @smartsteem went from bot to tell-us - which is great since @smartsteem is not getting used for automatic comments.

I learnt from it especially when you talked about
"how the main purpose is to let people give feedback to correct those errors".
If an given the opportunity, I would love to be path of it. To impel see it to a better place.

Thanks for your work. I appreciate it.
really, i must say this is amazing. but really, when will this be made available for mobile devices?
@steem-plus I would love to use you extension but there is now information how to use it for FireFox, cus in you logo you mention that there should be FireFox addon. I hope it isn't only for Chrome beacuse I don't wanna be forced to instal chrome only for this addon :(
Sorry I didnt link the documentation here, check the bottom of the doc for installation instructions : https://github.com/stoodkev/SteemPlus
Good idea and has been done very perfectly, let this katagore is very important here. I have complained for a long time about the number of spamms that haunt me on every post and comment. If allowed I can be part of this project.
Great update!
Will help people engage more with it now I think.
