RE: An open letter to the Steemit community on Content, Plagiarism, and the Cheetah bot.
The guy named Steemitlove has been posting crap all day. Hundred of characters spanning a long comment of random words. I hope they close his account and ban him.
I have seen your boy pointing out the material that may be a copy. We need this! We need a lot more of it. I posted about a big one copied word for word from an outside blog. They had the two links to prove it.
Keep it up
The steemitlove bot is purposefully trying to bloat the steemit block chain. That's why it's posting pages and pages of garbage. The account needs banned.
What's the goal of it? Won't the bandwidth restrictions on the blockchain throttle him?
Bandwidth restrictions didn't work that well and are being improved in upcoming hard fork (Tue, 26 Jul 2016 15:00:00 UTC)
@eeks. The changes are supposed to make the bandwidth restrictions more effective. There was already a soft fork deployed to block the very long individual comments.
Thanks. Will they be effective at that point or still not helpful? I know there's a bot trying to spam the blockchain with super long texts.
I think education or more information for people that are new to social media sites like this and that's including myself as i never used Reddit or Facebook before so this is really new and bit confusing... helpful education would be most appreciated.
