BOT SPAM = FLAG SPAM!

in rant •  7 years ago  (edited)

As my blog on Steemit develops so does the spam from Bots. Now without being a hypocrite I will admit Steemit has some bots I love! Randowhale promoted and booster like bots I believe in and I think could help new comers to Steemit.

Whilst saying that I have some problems with bots that are seriously pissing me off. I cannot stand spammy comment bots offering 0.001 SBD. Pointless and fucking useless. Inspiring me to set up bots that follow there actions and auto Flag every time.

When you enter certain categories bots even spam comment now with things they could seem real. All for a petty upvote. Ashley Maddison turned out to be a shit ton of bots and if Steemit carries on there will be that burden.

So me and a few computer geeks are thinking about the way we can design spam flag bots. I couldn't give a flying fuck if you think building more bots defeats everything I'm talking about I'd rather see Steemit die through a bot epidemic than let them swarm over and pest the shit out of me and spam content. I don't support flagging content and would never dream to flag anyone's content that isn't a bot wether I agree or not. That is the power of freedom of speech. I won't jeopardise your reputation or opinion. Bots on the other hand....

Rant over. @crypto-curt for more content

if they come at my post. I will downvote them from now on..

everybody should downvote those bs bot messages. But most people are scared

It's just becoming an epidemic mark. I read a guy who posts often on the photography category and the same bots we're putting the same comments over and over and he just had enough. Every trending post hot or even people I follow has a bot somewhere down the line. There is the right to the use of bots on Steemit and then they have some bots that are pure shit. I don't believe in the flag I'm just sick of shit heads that think they are some computer genius by creating a bot.

I am here to flag shit posts. Just let me know if you need help. I am also intrested in the script of this flag-bot.

at least with a downvote it screws up their rep..so everybody can see hey why you have a low rep..

I think its only get worse if we don't "fight" back. (imo) if everybody starts to downvote bot messages we will win.

But to honest, I rather spend my time on writing a blog. then to downvote.

Do not be afraid to downvote them if they spam you, or you let them win. If your reputation is higher than theirs, they can't do much against you. However, if you're still unsure about using your own account to flag them, you can report them to the @steemcleaners or the steemitabuse channel on steemit.chat.

Come on bots comment below...

I am Not a Robot ha,ha Please Don't Flag me Bro!!! :) Sorry, I could not resist, I've been reading a lot about Bots and learning in the process. I had one of those photo-bots comment on my last post, and when I looked them up the rep score was like 6. So perhaps your campaign is working. Love, Peace & Hair Grease!

Beep bop beep. Follow me and I follow you.... just kidding please don't flag me lol
