My @proofofbrian bot catches a lot of people spelling a certain tag wrongly.
This one caught me once too a good while back! Since then, I pay attention when writing that tag, lol. These days, it's important to still have proof of brain.
I thought I followed Bozz... Hmm, mind tricks.
As Hive grows the RC cost of posting may well go up, so mass spamming may not be viable without buying a lot of HP. We can each help out with dealing with such issues.
Maybe we will live the days when RC will become scarce.
My bot only responds once to each person as it keeps a list.
I think I'm right that Hive manages high traffic by making transactions more expensive, but I am not sure how much that has happened outside test nets. It is bound to come under attack again, but I think more defences were added since the last bad one.
