RE: Reputation Score 101 : What is Steemit Reputation Score, How is It Calculated and Why Should We Bother?

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

Wow, this is one of the most informative posts I ever saw on steemit! It thought I had a general knowledge off the reputation system but actually I had no clue - it's much more complicated but in a better way- seems like a lot of effort and thought was dedicated to make it fair, but as the voting bot jeopardize it- your idea of ignoring their impact when calculating the a score is interesting - but, how will it work? Who will manage the bot list and decide what is regarded as a bot?

Sort:  

Bots are already registered. I don't know the details yet but there's a procedure to apply for listing the bot on some maintained list. Most, of not all, voting bots are listed somewhere. Even if not, a procedure and a repository can be created to make that happen. From there on, it's simply the work of devs to edit the code and add something like:-

If incoming vote is from a registered bot, do not affect reputation of the author.

Translate that into code and it's done.

Thank you very much for your honest and descriptive feedback.

Thanks for the informative comment. It's really fascinating to know the details behind this "bot registration" - if you manage to get the details - please do share them with us :)

This is another thing I have a chance to explore further due to your question. Thank you.
