RE: Flagging War: What The Hell Do You Have In Your Mind? A Short Term Solution To Fix a Long Term Problem?

Low value bots (spam bot) can be suppressed by bandwidth limiting and usually removing their financial incentive is enough.

I was considering doing something to break the trails, it's easy to detect account that blindly follow some authors, and the fact that it happen with users at high level is concerning, (Ex. @timsaid trailing @gavvet). I don't see it as being so much of a problem though as vote count doesn't affect the user experience. (unfair reward does though)

What would also be great is to have a way to reduce reputation of an account that isn't posting anything. Whatever that would do, it would be in a way disagreeing with someone's voting pattern.

Reducing the reputation due to inactivity sounds like a really interesting idea, never thought about that!

New accounts have too much bandwidth and account creation is still faulty when I find hundreds of new accounts a week being created for free by @steem by those like @dart & @zlo

stupid rewards being given to a crap account was the publicity stunt where the owner of the account making the stupid upvote was also the owner of the account that did the down vote !

I'm assuming this to happen very often...

What are you talking about specifically??????????
