RE: About the Whole Self-Upvoting Debate-- Let's Examine the BIGGER Perspective!
@chelsea88, thanks so much for the long and well thought out comment! I really appreciate you taking the time.
I'm pretty much on the same page as you, with respect to most of your points. I have actually contributed to a couple of sites that had timers on comments to cut back on spam; they also made it so you couldn't paste anything to the input box... but, of course, determined hackers come up with scripts to bypass pretty much anything.
My personal opinion is that the best approach is simply to make "undesirable" behavior unprofitable. Most people who try to "game" systems are 100% money motivated... which is also what makes them a threat to the platform.
@denmarkguy not being able to paste would be difficult, but hopefully the timers will be implemented to cut back on spam. Thanks for the supprt on my comment. Sometimes i get a little long-winded so I am glad it made some sense to everyone. :) keep it up, i always appreciate your insightful posts
