Well as soon as you block one the spammer just creates a new account and then you will need to block that one too and this cycle will just go on forever.
I find them annoying as well. But why not simply mute them? Should be pretty quick for you and their comments will disappear.
Why put the burden on the user to mute obvious spam like bpcvoter. Anyway this was an issue @meno brought up but it was just an observation i made that if the fronttends won’t even block known spammers then how is anyone ever going to get nodes to do it either lol
Why put the burden on the user to mute obvious spam like bpcvoter.
I agree, it's a burden. But also something nobody should decide on your behalf.
We could create a script that could detect a style of post like spam and automatically block them on all levels so that even if they tried to play the cat and mouse game it would be detected but would cost money and need to be done with ai
For now the best thing to do is get them blocked on all front ends. Not sure why peakd won’t even block bpcvoter on their frontend, hive.blog either?
Who is in charge of this decision? The ones you mentioned are very very obvious, but as soon as we create a central authority to assign the label "spammer" this will get out of hand quickly.
What if the guy in charge of that authority decides the account meno is a spammer?
valid point....
What if its tied to reputation?
I know its a slippery slope.... im shooting from the hip, i guess.
Those who are not fans of censorship allow the individual users choose who to mute, which is exactly how a censorship resistant platform should work and this is probably what Peakd will say as well @meno
there’s real content then there is spam content. that’s why we need ai with a harness to make that determination, as long as rules decide and not humans it’s ok
yes that’s just my subjective opinion, we could do without the repetitive spam junk
