Whitepaper Discussion on Voting Abuse

in abuse •  7 years ago  (edited)

Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to penalize anyone. I said I like the bot I didn't say I didn't like the author. I like the content but I like it even more when I know where the source was copied from. the bot gives us a URL where we can see the content verbatim sometimes. Then decide if it was appropriate. Then I make up my mind to vote or not vote.

Then it should be called "Helpful Bot" or something with a positive feel if it is being helpful than called "cheetah" putting the word cheater in our mind and showing a duplicate link, no matter how cute the cat picture is.

It's cheetah not cheater. Cheetah that hunts down sources.

This is the first time I have read it referenced like that after being here a year lol, very clever, definitely needs a re-branding.

I see the bot penalizing this user https://steemit.com/drawing/@elenasteem/a-small-xenomorph-resumes multiple times currently, which if it is doing it because the person is not a human or plagiarizing, then that should be in the comments. Otherwise I have seen this user sharing genuine content and been pinged a lot by the bot. So in this case right now the bot has determined for us that this user is on a blacklist, it does not identify to the rest of us users why this is the case, and then for the user in question, they are now required to go into an off-blockchain chat to appease a robot or an unknown person to them behind it. I do not claim to have the answers on a better way to know this isn't the right way.
