this is similar to the @smarsteem whitelist system and I applaud @minnowbooster for finally taking this step to make sure that there is one less way for leaches to abuse the system...
if now more bot systems would follow suit then steem will become a better place
Thanks for your comment, MinnowBooster has however come up with a revolutionary whitelist system unlike any currently available; we believe we are the first movers in this area. Our Whitelist is set apart by allowing the community to nominate and vote on who should be added, the first truly community powered whitelist not controlled by any one central authority, we echo your sentiments and do hope other bots will follow suit to enhance the quality of upvoted Steem content.
well its not really community controlled since every application has to be approved by someone you appointed. The voting process beforehand is a nice touch but its still only by adhering to the rules you set.
and I am applauding the process since this will remove a lot of scammers from the process.
Yeah we have the admin part in there to ensure that a minimum quality is met. We may give trusted users this power at some point. For now this is to ensure that malicious people don't just approve anything to get the sweet rewards of voting ;)
How do you qualify for these services?
You'll need to be invited by a MinnowBooster whitelist member. This process may take some time but eventually someone will invite you if they feel your work is good enough to make it through the challenging review process. Hopefully this will encourage people to improve the content they post on the platform! Good luck @squares.
@smartsteem you have to apply.
@minnowbooster you have to be invited by a member
