RE: Honey Pots are coming! Get ready to help fight spam and earn doing so!

And what about all those human who auto-vote on my posts?
Do you mean to say that all bots are spammers?

Sort:  

No the big thing is catching comment spam bots who are mucking up replies with nonsense like "Nice post" and "Wow awesome" without voting or even being a real human that read or shared your content! The up vote part we may ditch since it is a lot harder to track but a comment spam bot would allow us to generate posts that potentially help identify spammers. Again just because we make a list does not mean anyone has to use it and we won't be downvoting anyone or blocking them for it, at least not until we get it working right!

So, you are going to spam people's posts with comments that they are not supposed to respond to or risk being dubbed a bot so that you can allegedly catch other spammers who post nonsense comments on people's posts which they are apparently too stupid to notice on their own?

Sounds like an exercise in futility.

NO, we are not going to post comments on ANY posts! We will be generating OUR OWN posts that we monitor for comments that people post to those posts!

your post didn't make that clear
