Flag Rewards Dev Post: Avoiding Votes Below Payout Threshold To Optimize Abuse Fighting

in abuse •  6 years ago  (edited)


I've done a bit of work on the bot to address an issue that was fairly crucial. I've already published said changes to the SteemFlagRewards production github if you'd like to take a look. Link.

What was the problem?

We've had a recent influx of low SP abuse fighters which our bot has been upvoting but many of these comments have ended up below the minimum payout threshold. This is bad for a couple of reasons.

  1. No curation rewards which can be utilized to fight more abuse.
  2. No author rewards which can be utilized to empower abuse fighters.

It was a lose:lose situation which needed to be fixed real quick in a hurry and that is just what I did. The bot will not upvote flags that do not exceed the 0.0245 SBD value per Beem's rshares_to_sbd function of the Steem class. Before my fellow minnows, redfish and plankton go grab your pitchforks, I want you to consider one thing. You will still receive the flagger post beneficiary rewards. As a matter of fact, I am considering boosting the weight of lower SP abuse fighters on these so now yall have a reason to keep me around. 😛

But on a serious note, if anybody want so help reward the brave low SP abuse fighters, upvoting those posts is a good way to do and soon to be even better. Will keep yall up to date.

In other news, I talk about a sly bid bot abuser names @johnz14. He thinks he's pretty slick going to his 3 month old posts, replying to himself, and boosting them mediocre comments inordinately.

Not on my watch.

That's pretty much it for now. I'm tired and need a drink.

Thanks for listening to my wearied rant. See ya next time!

Yeah! Traffic sucks!

Yeah it's like as if being in traffic was not being bad enough, then you get to deal with those entitled snowflakes that think they can cut in line.
smh

Ok, now for that bourbon! Cheers buddy!

Sounds like city life to me. Lots of people lots of distractions and even more people being distracted when they drive. My friend's horn is broken. Sometimes he yells, "Go!" when someone is not paying attention and on their phone at a green light. I told him he should yell, "Get off the phone!" It's probably not a good habit.
You don't want to know my favorite way to cope with traffic, but my other favorite ways include laughing at people trying to use the slow lane to pass merging vehicles on the right, laughing, pointing, and flashing lights at chronic tailgaters. All this while maintaining a three car gap makes me happy.
Maybe one day we can share a bourbon session with a dash of roadway shit talking. Cheers!

P.S. That music you purchased put exactly $3.91 towards more music!

Thanks again!

Just came by to see whats up. Thanks for what you do. One man army wow!

Thanks @anthonyadavisii for all your awesome work.

I will try and be on the lookout for low SP abuse fighters and drop them a few upvotes!

Specially now the @fulltimegeek bot army seems to be back online, so I can give out more votes to others

I flagged some of that guy's comments. Who wants to join me? Let's wipe out his profit!

That Calimi whoever is back downvoting people with their 100 accounts? These flaggers need to GET DAMN LIFE!!!!!!! yes, I barey get to go out. But jesus, I know how to occupy my time unlike these people

Will see what I can do. I thought we were done with this. Smh

I didn't go super far back, but I haven't seen her getting any flags for at least a month.

I saw this post and I reckoned she was back
