RE: Steembay (a bot) under attack by a wannabe AI

in #flags6 years ago

Delegating to bidbots has the exact same effect as selfvoting and should be punished just the same, then. Just saying ...

From what I can see, @zer0hedge has not much SP.
How much did the flags cost you ?

Sort:  

It is not much... about 3 $ in 3 days. But the reputation-loss bothers me.
Also it's the "feeling" these downvotes cause.

It's not the exact same effect because of the curation reward.
Bidbots are about 85-90% as efficient as self-voting. I'd be curious of the current averages but it's variable and all over the place.

Or in other words, sadkitten ought to flag you with 85 - 90% flags then.

sadkitten attempts to vote to about 85% of the self voted amount anyway, so yes, that's consistent

you guys should be downvoting the people who delegate to bidbots with 90% of the strength you use on selfvoters. that would be consistent.
please read the context.

One bot doesn't need to do everything, we are not the police, we're just one group expressing disagreement along certain lines. There is a perception among some people that if you do anything you should be doing everything. That does not make sense.

I responded to a similar comment before:

Right, you hit the nail on the head, it's just one part of a solution. It takes many people working on this stuff to have an effect. The point I've been trying to make is that because a solution isn't completely comprehensive doesn't indicate that it's useless.
