Agree and agree and agree!!!!
The platform I was on was amazing...and then we started to grow in leaps and bounds!!! It was the MOST active platform according to Alexa for months.
And then the spammers came (and everyone was thinking...hey! Look at least we are growing!)
12 months later and that platform no longer exists.
All the money is gone. So many people were so hurt.
All I'm saying is... As someone who saw it happen FAST... The attraction of spammers needs to be a HUGE warning sign.
We need to be VERY focused on proactively attracting and KEEPING the RIGHT type of content creator.
That's why we have been actively fighting against plagiarists and spammers. The work involved is exhausting and time-consuming, but it's worth it. We have been actively onboarding people here in the Philippines and out first warning is on plagiarism. If we can catch someone plagiarizing, we already told them that we won't tolerate even if they're our friends.
We are doing the same on our project... I would like to come.talk to you on your post and meet you formally!
If you are bringing people who are already against plagiarism and teaching them...we can be another help for them in the next stage, if you like.
I'll come.meet you on your post very soon. 😊
I'm not really the spearhead of the project. If you want, you can check out @romeskie's post.
i'll still come talk to you - since we have met now and shares some time hehehe.
i like to build off existing connections :)
