When I say audience this includes my supporters, readers, viewers, and those in between. š I want to give a fair warning to everyone who views and comments in my article.
There has been a trend going on and it's not such a good thing. Many users are annoyed, many complain and many are furious about it. What trend, you ask? SPAMMING.
Not too long ago, readcash made an update in which you can 'move to spam' comments and irrelevant comments you receive in your article/s.
I also want to lessen or better yet, remove spammers into this website, well simply because it's not good and not fair. So I am giving a fair warning to everyone (or some) or my readers and those who comment in my articles.
I will try to give chances to SOME PEOPLE, I repeat, SOME PEOPLE, who comment such spam messages and not instantly move their messages to spam.
Examples of comments I will give chance to:
User1 comments: nice article! (or something similar)
>I will ask which part, which one exactly, or something like that. But if they don't reply, eventually I will move them to spam.
User2 comments: relevant thoughts to the article and says SUBSCRIBE ME PLS.
>I will reply relevant to their thoughts about my topic and ask them to send me their link in which they think is their best article so far. or check their profile and see if they have interesting articles I might be interested in.
WHY AM I DOING THIS?
Not all are spammers intentionally. though they might send spam comments, not all are intentionally spammers. Some are very new, days old, 1-2 weeks old, and I still want to welcome them with a welcoming environment. Some people also change if given the opportunity. So I want to give a chance to others and see if they are really just spamming the platform intentionally or they just don't have enough knowledge about the issue.
BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG GUYS, I AM MORE THAN WILLING AND HAPPY TO REPORT AND CLICK THAT 'MOVE TO SPAM' IF REALLY NEEDED. If I think that the user is guilty of spamming, I will.
Most likely, if they are spammers, they will not reply to your messages asking for more detailed thoughts regarding their previous comment. And when that happens, report and 'move to spam' is the better option.
What are spam comments?
These are comments that are:
copy-pasted comments
have been used to flood the system and making traffic into the system
gibberish comments
comments asking for subscription in return or subscription, asking subscription alone is already becoming a spam message
and comments similar to these kinds that I said.
It doesn't matter if you've sent the author a single comment about asking for a subscription in return for a subscription. That's still considered a SPAM MESSAGE. Why? Because that message is sent several times and is causing flood and traffic to the platform. Again, I'm pointing on the message you sent not you as a commenter alone. The spam is the message and you using it is considered a Spammer. I hope everyone gets that. It is also stated to Readcash's previous post that these kinds of comments are spam and considered spamming the platform.
If you think being a spammer only means that you send a bunch of messages in one article or similar messages in all that author's article, you are just seeing a small picture or the definition of SPAM.
Another example of spam.
When a call was made, doesn't matter if you made the call the first time, but if what you're calling about is the same as those who previously called them about, your call is considered spam. And you are then called a spammer by the person on the other line. The same goes for when you are newly hired as a telemarketer, you call for the first time, but the customer is very irate and shouts that you are a spam, that the call is a spam. well, technically yes you are. Cause a lot of people (your team and your coworkers and other teams from other companies) have been calling that person for the same exact message and it is unsolicited. Meaning such call was not asked, such topic was not asked, such comment was not appreciated.
I hope I get that clear. It is not just sending a bunch of similar comments to one author. You can say you are not spamming the author's article but you are on the platform. At least your message does, I mean.
Going back to my 'fair warning', again I will not immediately move your comment to spam but I will if I needed to.
Oh this warning only falls for those one-three lines comments and those asking for subscription. This is NOT INTENDED FOR long copy-paste comments and gibberish comments like 'shhsuhsvshjabGauajsb' kinda comments. These are AUTOMATICALLY MOVED TO SPAM!
I think that's fair enough for people who unintentionally comments spam messages in my articles cause I've really seen some. And I gave a chance to one user earlier because he gave a relevant comment even if he asked for subscription. I told him will check his profile and only to realize, he's 1 week old here at readcash (if I remember correctly) and I found his articles interesting. Just a little improvement I see potential in him. And I'm glad I checked first his profile first. He may be intentionally doing it for a reason but I was thinking if I gave him a chance and encouragement, maybe he can avoid asking subscription and stick to relevant comments only just like the first part of his comment in mine. It made me realize more that not everyone is intentionally spamming the website. But mostly are, unfortunately.
Just to make myself clear, I am still not in favor of spammers and I still want to get rid of them as much as everybody wants to. š
Well, that's it. It may not be a good idea, Let me know what you think of my idea, I am willing to listen and reconsider other options. š
