The report basically is "who am I the parent author to the most". The idea is to find people summoning bots.
I don't maintain a list of them (although I thought about it in future updates), but I have used this a lot on my own to find people spamming things like !lol and so on. It is just something I use to find patterns.
The Anti-Abuse category is just a sample, there are a ton of tools I don't make publicly available and Anti-Abuse will be locked down to a very small group of people if this goes further.
Should the threshold be lowered here to say 5 times a day?
This will going to be configurable, but this is the default I use in my backend system so I just copied it here for now. Again, these Anti-Abuse tools won't be general use and are just an example.
Curious what is considered post spamming? More than two in 24 hours? Or is the threshold higher than that?
Many people do 2 posts a day. I would say 3 or more for me but there will be many opinions on this I would imagine.
There are no rules or even guidelines here just a bunch of people making their own decisions.
Why would They be taken from general use? Just asking as there is more than likely a obvious answer? It was one of the first places I went.
It would move the goal post for identifying abuse. If they know the tools, techniques, thresholds used to detect they can slightly change to side step it making a nearly impossible job even harder.
ok thanks for the info. It's good to know there are controls in place. I was once given a stat in retail that the average shoplifter will steal an average of $60 from you but if the average dishonest member of staff on the inside came to an average of $60,000. Looking at the Valueplan totals we are indeed being robbed from the inside.
