Thank you for the report.

re: Asher

I've been participating in @foodfightfriday (missed a couple weeks now lately, but anyway), and some months back, cheetah decided it would show up and do its comment about users finding similar content by this author—supposedly well meaning but knowing it's because the bulk of the post doesn't change too much from week to week—kind of like the engagement lists posts, or the freewrite post (which is every day, by the way), and yet no cheetah. I guess they'd been trying for weeks to get ahold of someone who could whitelist @foodfightfriday, and I guess it must have finally happened. I just got tired of seeing cheetah doing it's spam thing. I'm not that big a fan, because everywhere I see it show up, it's just unnecessary. And I don't know if people read what it's saying in those instances anyway. It would really easy for people to see it and think, oh, their spamming or plagiarizing when neither is the case. :/

I know where you are coming from, it is frustrating. patrice or guiltyparties are i believe able to get an account away from cheetahs claws.

I'm not entirely sure, but my guess is guiltyparties may have finally got to it. That was after good old pjau became involved, and he doesn't really have much say. So far, though, he's been the go to guy for a couple of instances I know, so I'm glad he works with or knows folks who can redirect the algorithm elsewhere.
