RE: SteemDB.com - Migration complete and a few thoughts on it's future.

in #steemdev7 years ago

Are there plans for dealing with the copy/paste reply bots that people are using to game this system? How about for disincentivizing people to post crap comments that contribute nothing? These kinds of things are going to be very bad for this platform in the long run if a stop isn't put to it early on.

Sort:  

While I agree with your sentiment, the question then becomes (as in the real world) who is to judge what is a bad comment or in searching for the users gaming the system? How do we find the middle ground where that type of system doesn't censor opinions that are unpopular or that deal with sensitive topics? The second this turns into a Twitter or Facebook with censoring users I believe this platform is heading in the wrong direction.

I agree, they are problems. There's a lot of talk happening on this subject at this point between the witnesses but no concrete answers as of yet.

SteemDB won't solve those problems though :D
