RE: More Spam Fighting Improvements Are Coming To Condenser (Steemit UI, That Is)
I like this, because it frustrates me to see so many low quality comments. On the other hand, although for the right reasons, this is limiting freedom on this platform a little bit. There are many other small things that could reduce spam and blocking some users that behave in a certain way. Where do we draw the line?
If this is correctly implemented, we will draw the line at the right distance. I see it necessary. Almost like the Bad Actors list you may hit when you try to transfer steem. Since there is so much account squatting (bittrexx insteat of bittrex, etc) such a list had to be created. Given the amount of spam comments (and the pressure it puts on the size of the blockchain) I don't see it as a "freedom limiting feature".
I agree, and I am happy we're doing something about it.
Now that I think of it a bit more, is this the right solution for the problem? Since all users wil be affected and the list of words is quite arbitrary (and there is also the misspelling and foremost the other languages component)?
Wouldn't some sort of algorithm that looks at the number of characters and duplicate comments of a certain user' s last 10 comments be better? This is more under the hood, doesn't impact all users and avoids killing legitimate spontaneous comments once in a while :-)
I posted the link to this conversation on the GitHub issue, hopefully the devs assigned to it will peruse all the comments and pick all the suggestions they'll find useful. Thanks for contributing your thoughts :)
"Awesome!", that is all I wanted to say ;-)
exactly! if all you have to say is "thank you" why not just upvote and leave it be until you actually have something to say?
