RE: The Bot Revolution on Steemit - Over 300$ Worth Of Upvotes Every Two Hours
Hey man thank you very much for that, We are making it a better way to be able to use the 100% feature.
What it looks like will happen is, a cap on the bids maybe 50-70 SBD also adding them to the high risk category in a blacklist with 2 warnings.
1st warning:
- un-vote, refund.
2nd warning:
- un-vote, no refund
This might seem kind of drastic, but we feel something like this might be done.
We cannot rely on the outside users to flag those types of posts so we find it a better way to be proactive.
"a cap on the bids maybe 50-70 SBD"
I'm not usually in favor of caps, but that seems totally reasonable. It will prevent someone monopolizing Bellyrub's entire next vote as soon as bidding opens. Bidding more than 70 does seem a bit excessive...and risky for everyone bidding.
"1st warning: un-vote, refund."
I don't think that's drastic at all, but I'm sure people will still fail to read and do it anyway.
I agree, also regarding the caps. As a "decentralized" there should be no boundaries some users have come to me with anger in regards to this.
@bellyrub is an auction bot and the market dictates it so.
It is a complex situation, There have been some high bids sent in resulting in this mind set.
The cap is still in debate, as far as it goes the more refund/banning is and will be set in place disregarding the cap.
That sounds like a good plan. You could add a function to bellyrub to call it for moderation, leaving a comment below the post to inform others as well. You would save yourself the trouble of manually checking all posts.
