RE: Downvote control tool proposal delivery #2

in #downvotes5 years ago

I'd much rather we give feedback to the users of posts we downvote rather than having a "negative curation trail"

In most cases it's not about the content but the fact that they are using bid bots to boost their post into three-digit dollar rewards.

OK but the behaviour is changing on that front from what I've seen over the last month with bid bot usage... Slowly but it's changing.

However, I've seen that some bid bot accounts are also switching to manual curation so how would that work? Having a black or white function of if a bid bot account votes on a post isn't accurate in these situations?

Post rewards should definitely be set to decline or @null beneficiary in my view if using a bid bot (I've never used one btw so don't know how they work, just the effect on the trending feed pretty HF 21)

It's changing because of the flags. People don't use bid bots that much because they anticipate being flagged.

For example I flag only votes by bid bots (where I know that it is no manual curation)

Exactly
