Thanks, Bashadow! Yes, outgoing votes is something we need to prioritise. But with the instability over the last few days, there are also a number of things to be updated in the code first, before implementing anything new. I'm not sure what to expect in terms of abuse, but I hope we can manage it. We have filters and limitations in place now, and most of them will be valid for outgoing votes as well.
You got me curious about that Haiku bot. Have to try to go and find it... ;)
@bashadow introduced me to Dustsweeper last week. I ended up sending some SBD to Dusty and voting for @danielsaori as witness.
It is fun seeing Dusty upvote the comments that I forgot about several days ago. I love the fact that it encourages more commenting and more voting on comments.
Have you tried having Dusty upvote a comment for a non-user and leaving a comment about how Dusty just saved a little dust from being wasted? It might be good advertising.
Thank you Professor.
It could be good advertising, but considering the number of bots around that send unneccessary spam, we want to avoid as much as we can spam-like activities.
And at the moment we are getting an enormous support from the community. Amazing to see the amount of work some people spend to spread the word.
@haikubot, pretty funny some of the things it gets as haiku, some like some dislike it, kind of like most bots. He doesn't post, just comments.
