I need your valuable opinion please! VOTE : Should I hunt Cheetah with my own SafariPoaches bot?

in steemgigs •  8 years ago 

@anyx You the only person who actually gets to decide. I can't poach for reals but I can game. I am just curious as to what the community opinion IS and I think its controversial hot clickbait

@cheetah does alot for the community of this im certain - i only became aware of the CHEETZAH when I happened to encounter a Steemian that he had grievously wounded; I mean we're talking steemit.chat BOMB I didn't know that there WAS a blacklist yet. It was very educational in a profoundly personal and kind of disturbing way. It felt like I was watching someone get PKed in Ultima Online for the first time.

@steemitqa I was thinking about... a weekly post that has 1 newly featured great thinker. Since I get to decide my first would be Anyx but u a close second baby I love u still. That means next week you are the feature. Like the idea?

@everlove week 3 - "Great Steem Thinkers" will be you for sure... u gave me the validation I needed when I was in a moment of struggling to trust the steem community. You reminded me that there are people on here who I can reallllllllly relate to... and actually the same is true of @anyx (never chatted w him) and @steemitqa who is fucking hilarious.

*edit PK'd by an entire guild while they picked his corpse clean and talked trash lol... but cheetah gets on you and @cheetah wont let go until u listen to the instructions

The blacklist is reserved for the worst of the worst. People who have literally broken laws (e.g. identity theft), and/or extreme fraud or plagiarism. We give plenty of warning for questionable accounts.

It's still up to the community if they wish to respect cheetah's warnings. It does not stop people from voting or anything.

I think its a super successful experiment ... I am wondering if it can be exploited Sybil - whitelist on a script

Do you think its possible or are there unseen checks against this exploit?

Not sure what kind of exploit you're thinking of.

I just added a discord and mentioned u in the steemeeeeers discordsers

I have no intention of exploiting anything other than... so that we dont get exploited as a community in the future

Your decision 100%. Im merely curious what other people think because well... im a huge newblet here

My complaint with cheetah is when I quote the link in the post a cheetah comment stops the bots from voting.
If I give credit for the quote I shouldn't get commented, imo.

This issue is being worked on / mostly fixed. Can you link to your post where this has happened recently?
It should only comment if the quote is a significant portion of the post (e.g. looks like you're just "quoting" the whole thing and doing nothing else)

If there's complaints about other bots not voting, talk to the bot owners and tell them to up the smarts of their voting logic. I can't control how other people vote! :)

Thanks for clarifying that there is a 'significant portion' standard, I had suspected as much, but wasn't certain.

As it is the link is clearly credited:
https://steemit.com/ladiesonly/@freebornsociety/on-any-given-tuesday

Is there a keyword or something to use for the link credit to clue in the bot?

I'd think it is probably a high percentage shot to set one's bot to not vote anything cheetah comments,...

It looks like in this case the vast majority of text in the post was the source. So the best way to avoid the comment, is to add some commentary about the quoted text (e.g. discuss it, add your own thoughts, etc).

Yes, thank you.

Glad you got several answers!
