Has the @cheetah bot turned into yet an other comment bot style scam?

in abuse •  7 years ago 

Interesting view. When I looked at them MOST appeared to be false positives. Either automated posts based on recent stats, or things like photo posts of unrelated photo's.

As for my Watching The Watchers posts, they too are meant as a public service.It is 'my'responsibility to keep the whitelist up to date. For me, that means whitelisting accounts that do 100% curated or automated flagging of abusive content. For me, this also means I'm currently 'NOT' sharing my comment-bot upvote attenuating away bots because I don't have the whitelisting in order yet and it currently would attenuate upvotes of @cheetah comments. It's my responsibility to make sure @cheetah gets whitelisted as not being a comment bot in the same way, that, in my opinion, it's 'your' responsibility to make sure @pibarabot and @entact get whitelisted for automated stats based posts. Writing a HOWTO that describes that you should connect with me on EFnet if you feel you should be whitelisted doesn't absolve me from my responsibility to maintain my own whitelist.

As for donating time, I'm a bit busy right now working on asyncsteem, but as soon as i'm past the 1.0 release I'll be happy to donate some time to @steemcleaners and spent some time on making my away-bot collection (that will be ported to asyncsteem) contain a few bots that consider @steemcleaners posts as authoritative.
