RE: The Steemit Daily Dose: Spamming on Steemit ain't cool.
Actually it's all about me!
I've started to flag spam comments. We have to make it an unattractive activity. Even if they flag me back most of those doing it will not have enough SP to do real damage
I have been thinking of doing the same myself... maybe they´ll stop? But you might get yourself into a sense-less war with a lot of minnows (imagine that same war for me, being a minnow also)... But i dont see another solution, at least not right now.
I'm willing to take the chance
If you ever need backup on this crusade against infidels give me a call and I´ll put on the armor. Not ready to lead my own slaying team but I can hop into another one.
I'm not going to wage total war, but I will use my limited power to deal with persistent spammers.
That is not a cool move. How about just ignoring? that will make it unattractive. Flags should be reserved for severe violations such as scam, fraud, plagiarism.
Spam comments is a normal human behavior, and it will continue as platform grows. That should be expedited norm from new users. Don't hate, show some love.
Others will still vote up the spam, so we have to counter that and make it less attractive to do. It's not hate, it's moderation
I've been saving my flags for abusive and hateful posts, but I think I might just join you in your efforts. :)
With high SP you can do damage @steevc, but the problem is it depletes your voting power considerably. VP that could be given to someone else. We need to find a new solution I think??
Flaggin' depletes your voting power considerably?
That's good to know.
BOTTOM $: DON'T DO IT!!!!
Agreed. I suggested having a separate flagging power, because right now, nobody wants to flag and "waste" their power.
Exactly - it's flag free zone at the moment - no one wants to waste their fixed income per day on that crap!
A 1% flag from me can take away a few cents. I could do a lot of those
Ha ha! I think we need a better long term solution than that @steevc ;)
Well this is how Steemit was designed. Users moderate using their SP
Wait till you see today's Daily Dose soon @steevc - love to hear your views on that one! :)
