What link are you talking about @guard @anyx?
In the following paragraph:
The REDACTED is actually (probably accidentally/typo) a phishing site. @actifit should fix the site and I will happily edit the comment.
@anyx I could see our typo now, we used Stemit instead of Steemit, although that Stemit site itself is not a phishing site as I just checked. It was not even showing as a link in our post.
Anyhow ill edit the post and adjust that. Flagging so quickly for a typo sounds weird to me, a small note would be nice.
I get what you're trying to do with preventing phishing links though, keep up the good work!
Thanks for fixing it, flags have been removed!
Flagging quickly is a automated response. It's better to cast a wide net and fix any mistakes later, than to let the real phishers slip through. We've had a few epidemics of phishing here -- where more and more people get caught as higher reputation accounts get phished and spread phishing links further -- so there is no other solution other to be quick and firm.
Hi need you help can u help me?
Hi @thejohalfiles, sorry for posting an off-topic comment, but I couldn't reach you anywhere else.
I saw that you are one of the few (the only?) big SP holders curating manually. I thought it could be interesting for you to check out Steeve which is an initiative that tries to help manual curation by giving its users recommendations of posts they might like outside their feed. The recommendations are given by an AI which tries to learn their taste from their past actions on the blockchain.
which link is that ??
@actifit has a 66 reputation.. yours is 50. Who do you think we trust more?
@guard is a creation of @anyx who is one of the most respected developers and witnesses in the Steem blockchain.
Appreciate the support :) In this case it looks like the author just had a typo, as mentioned above.
If it's a Typo, why you did not remove/edit the comment? because your unfounded accusation is dangerous and can harm the project without any concrete reasons.
Accidents happen, but the link is still clickable (e.g. on mobile). It's best for the author of the post to fix their post.
What you are doing is a mere tour de force, nothing else. A distorted form of vigilantism.
Maybe remove the mackbot flag now that that was cleared.
