Think before you Click (Move to Spam Dispute)
This morning (Ph time), the new feature was added to the system which is about moving comments to spam. The said feature created a commotion to this RC community. Since it was still new, users doesn't know yet the effect of that feature to those who'll be affected with the new system. And because of that, many users moved irrelevant comments to spam since they thought it's just the comments who will be affected, but unexpectedly, it gives negative impact to affected users as well. So what are the negative effects of the new feature:
***The users might be muted or get banned because of spamming.*** ***Some users might take advantage of the new feature to take someone down or get banned those users they hate or felt annoyed at.*** To be honest, I received so many irrelevant comments everyday which I think needs to be moved to spam. But I was just lazy and no enough time for that. Just for example this two: ππ
Even though they are annoying, I just ignore their comments. Because I thought they're maybe new to this platform. I was like them before as well when I was still new. Asking for subscription but in my case, I read, like and subscribe the user and gives relevant comments to the content of the article. So my point here is, **before you move a comment to spam, think about the user first**. If it's just a simple reply to a simple conversation on the comment section, I don't think it needs to be moved to spam. **Before you click the spam button, think first if the user deserves to be muted or banned.** If you think the comment is irrelevant, just ignore it. If you think it is already annoying to the point that the user is doing the same thing everyday, then maybe you need to take action. But I advice you to give "**warning**" to the user first before you moved his/her comment to spam. Let's give consideration to new users and give them warning instead. Hope you get what I am up to here. And thanks for understanding!!

Thanks for this information,so helpful about that feature.Accidentally click it, now im using left hand to scroll and click some buttons here.
Haha.. good idea sis.. yeah sometimes we accidentally click the wrong button, and it's so sad if we can't undo it.. so we should be vigilant
Yeah, just be aware when youre on notifications, dont click so quick
Haha..exactly..
Yeah! You right!! Manny members always comment annoying... Even they dont read or understant the article yet! Your article is really helpfull to understand about RC hope they read this before commentπ
It's about moving the comment to spam... before you guys click the spam button, think about the affected users first..
I agree with you. There will always be comments not relevant to your article and you can just ignore it. Im thinking though, what if good authors who have haters will use this feature to get them out of the picture? How are these spammed comments censored and monitored?
I saw am article about that issue. using the spam feature to take someone down.. i forgot the username of the author, Jihan just told me bout that.
This kind of power can be abuse and yes it's possible . But in different scene we can actually help admin and moderators who's spamming and who's not.
Yeah i know.. but we should think first if the user is really spamming.. i think we can tell which one is spamming and which one is not
Yes absolutely madam, I can really tell my dear.π But can they just add a confirmation button what do you think? Coz sometimes we might just accidentally clicked send to spam while scrolling.
Well, as what they've said, you can undo it.. i never tried though.. but in case you've been muted or banned unjustly, better make an appeal
I have a lot of annoying comments too but I never tried marking as a spam because I don't know yet how the new button works or how it would affect other users. There are some who comment emojis when no longer have anything to say on a conversation with other users. But the new button also implies that you don't have to reply all the time. If you no longer have anything to say, not replying is the most relevant thing to do, instead of sending an emoji.
Exactly.. as tsaying goes, if you have nothing good to say, just say nothing at all.. but really, if i don't have anything more to say on a conversation, I just sent emoji. ππ atleast I'm not being rude to them..haha.
It's really nice to see this article for everyone's awareness especially now that most of us are still shocked about this feature and puzzled on how it works though yes, there's really disadvantage of this feature because a RC member might banned or muted not because of the spamming but because of the insecurities or hates. Thanks for sharing :)
Definitely, as @M3i suggested, there should be an appeal for those who've been muted or banned unjustly.. and i like the idea of @lioness777 to educate the newbies about this platform..
Very helpful article. People known something by your article. ππ
I don't know if theres really something to be happy about this new readcash features. I'll be very honest in my opinion about this. I know most of the authors here were happy with this new feature. Yes this might be an advatange for those authors, that recently I've been reading so much of their complains about spamming... (I guess most of them were those newbies that were so desparate to earn points and subscribers.) but again as what you mentioned theres also a great possibility that this feature might be abused. I really felt bad for those newbies who were blocked/rejected by some because they were misinformed on how to use this platform wisely. I just hope instead of blocking or reporting them why can't we just educate them on how this platform really works. Lets just give them the benefit of the doubt and if they persistently doing it then maybe that's the time to report them.
That's what i like, instead of moving to spam, why not give a warning. We all started as a newbie.. and we do the same as well coz we're desperate to earn subscribers
A good informative post. It will help usβ€
Well....if you click it my mistake... you still have the chance to undo it..I am sying it just in case.. I tried but now I am afraid to reply them. Who knows I am saying them good thimg and instead they move my warning or suggestion to spam. To b honest I don't wanna take the risk. And I think It's best way, because 1-2 won't effect them but but but if they continue and grt 9-10 , then it might effect and in those times if they still don't understand, this platform ia not suitable for them. So if you are willing to risk, I appreciat you but I have tried but they didn't reply and I found them commenting same in my next post. To me, it's the only way to warn them how to use read cash properly with rules
Well if they're doing the same thing after your warning, then that's the time to move them to spam.. I will do the same as well.. I even received comments with just random letters, i was like "wth", then some even like "hmm,lluh, lovely, stay by my side".. Lol i want to block them instead of mpving to spam.. I already blocked one after several warning still doing the same thing..
Well are you sure that you are waring thwm and they won't move your reple to their msg(Warnimg) to the spam???
Nope, mine happens before this new feature added.. but now well you have a point, if they're consistently annoying and just moving your warning to spam, then it just proves that they're spammers.. it's your time to take action.
It happens to me that the same people leave spam comments below my articles. Mostly two-word comments without even reading the article. Also, some users have a habit of asking me to subscribe to them. I just answer kindly that I will look at their work. If I like it, I'll subscribe. I don't think there's any need to harm new users who are just trying to make ends meet here. We need to teach them how all this works.
You are right with the word "make ends meet", really RC is giving out a chance, to earn somehow though to some may not be enough but definitely some others would rely hope for.
It is our decision whether to report someone for spam or explain to them that they should not do so. It takes more articles like this to get to a beginner. The sooner we educate new members, the less pointless posts and comments we will have. So at the very beginning, we raise quality. Personally, I want to read quality articles and have a good discussion in the comments.
That's my point. many newbies doesn't know how RC works, they're doing things which they think is right. They're just newbies, what we should do is to give advice and teach them about this platform.... if they're spamming, just give warning. if it happens again then that's the time you take actions.
Thank you for this your advice, some just are just saying move all to span forgotten that they also started like that, I think the waning idea is a good one. God bless you.
Yes it is.. by the way, have you receiveΔ notif about the sponsorship message for you? I commented on one of your articles to activate your sponsor block
I'm still sorry for this morning ππππ i didn't notice the mark as spam option there, i got used to seeing only the quick reply button there which was why i pressed on accident. I undid it right away when i noticed though On a side note, i hope the recipients would still get a reevaluation of the comment first. It feels like this was meant to scare the users more than anything
No worries sis.. no hurt feelings here...the motive of my post is to remind everyone not to easily move comments to spam, because the users will be affected as well.. it's just new, we don't know yet the consequences that will follow.. but at least now, we know that it might get the users to be muted or banned.
That question of mine was answered this morning when someone else posted about receiving that spam tag for their comment, actually but since he effect wasn't immediate, it looks like the report gers reviewed first before anything. And it seems like the best way to scare users into really commenting about the article itself so I'm on a50-50 with this new feature
Every time, you try yo make a solution for a problem, another one comes up. Bad use of this tool, might mute users, without a real reason.
yeah.. in every positive action there's always a negative reaction.. but as @M3i said, there should be an appeal to those who got unjust muted or banning..
i already unfollow them and put their comment into spam
Do not do that to all. You should consider the newbies.. a warning at first might be better.. we do not want to have haters in this community
The potential drawback I see with the new feature like you tightly observed is it being used for personal vendetta. Like I suggested in a comment to another post, an appeals system is also now necessary for handling cases of users who feel their comments have been wrongly tagged as spam. Thus it may be necessary for this feature to be put on hold pending when this is put in place in order to forestall cases of unjust muting or baning.
True.. there should be an appeal to unjust muted or banning... the greedy ones might take advantage of the new feature... I'm really glad you have that point of view.
It haooens to me also. Very importantthings you share
newbies should be aware of your comments too.. refrain commenting irrelevant comments
Hmm..sure
Really you are discussed an amazing topic.Many people can misuse this option.We should think about the commenters before click this option
Yes.. we should be considerate to the newbies and give them positive approach instead of spamming immediately
Don't be in a rush before you implicate someone for your own negligence. Read properly before judging if it's spam or not
True.. it's like judging the book by it's cover.. if it's newbie then maybe let's just give them warning. .. we can tell which one is spammer from just trying to gain subscribers
I'll be happy to see such improvement because I haven't seen any "move to spam" button or icon here. We've had enough of all this sub for sub thing. And those who are strongly against it are getting huge downvote for standing for what's right.
I'm not against that sub to sub coz I've been there when i was still new here.. maybe what I will move to spam are those comments who are really annoying consistently.. some even comment "subscribe me an stay be my side".. lol.. it's too inappropriate.. some will say "hmm, luh, or random letters" which is unreadable only proves that they're spammers
Ouch, so you also did that, I hope you haven't move my comment to spam. Am scared already.
I already tried this spam featured of RC and I dont have that information that the user will be.muted and banned. I cant remember those user na, tapos manonotified pa pala sila. Hala.
