This is a Honey-Pot Post for Bahts, Real People Please Ignore

in steemit •  8 years ago  (edited)

I am wondering if certain bahts only check for length and formatting

Please do not upvote this post. It is an attempt to see if some bahts are only checking for lots of formatting in posts before upvoting.

Additionally, provided quotes like this might also trick a baht into upvoting it

This is only a thought though, so this is just an attempt at luring them in

Many bahts are friendly and are doing their best at safe-guarding the platform. However faulty logic can lead to misbehaving bahts that upvote poor content unknowingly.

Again this is just an attempt to see if there is faulty baht logic currently out there

If there is not, or at least not in regards to the amount of formatting in a post, then this post should be rightfully ignored.

Other faulty logic could exists out there, this is just an attempt to point out formatting bahts.

NOTE: I did not post this in tehst as bahts likely ignore it.

Looks like you're right!

Why did you write this post?

Look at all the upvotes I just got on a post I asked people not to upvote.

Yeah, but I'm sure not all of these upvotes are "bahts"... just people after curation rewards that didn't bother reading your post.

A large number of these are from a bot-net. More information here on @trogdor 's post:

Ffing weenis... I've downvoted it's posts a few times.

As the title suggests this post is steembot bait to show how aggressive bots have become in upvoting Steemit posts just to gain SP with no regard for what they're actually voting on...

Nobody is upvoting. those are all bots. click on some of them

Would be nice if the Steem community had a way of collectively moderating them... down-vote notwithstanding.

You definitely have bots upvoting you, I recognize some of those users as members of a bot I had a bad encounter with just yesterday. I wrote an article detailing the bots harrassing me and providing evidence that they are indeed bots.
