Have you thought about termites? You know that they don't bring anything good at all once they attack your "HOUSE" because their main objective is to destroy it. https://www.arrowtermiteandpestcontrol.com/how-termites-can-destroy-the-structure-of-your-home-in-months. The longer you let them stay at your place, you know for a fact that they bring only more harm than good hence we have to be strategic otherwise they will thrive.
Spammers are like "TERMITES" instead of bringing goodness for noisecash/readcash or any other platforms, they are "pests" in a way that they will never listen to any suggestions and they simply just don't care at all because they are too lazy to do proper work regardless of how short a message (as per noisecash) and I doubt if they could ever make a proper blog needless to say it shows on their low-quality comments here too thus "destroying" our house in a wink of an eye.
As part of this community which I value as much as other platforms that I joined, I care for what might be the effect of this in the long run so I decided to write a post as per suggestions on what I thought could help "lessen" spammers' existence on the platform. I believe in contributing to how we can at least be PROACTIVE being part of this community. Lessen because I am aware we can not police the world but at least we can lower down their numbers, crossing fingers it would happen as I sound too ambitious, but there's no harm in trying.
As per suggestion back at Noisecash, I thought of a clean-up drive and call it through HOUSE SYSTEM.
HOUSE SYSTEM wherein the main objective is to "filter" those who are not keen about their "SHORT" posts. Think of it like your "School ID." No Id, No Entry, or your "passport" for without it, you won't be able to travel overseas either. Generally speaking, think of it as a "gate" only those who are authorized personnel allowed meaning those who are only "exerting their effort" to bring short but sensible posts. (noisecash).
Green House for Quality User, Gold House for Average User, and Silver House for Spammers.
Green as the dominant colour for Bitcoin Cash, likewise as per https://noise.cash/u/Kenechukwu comment that it "denotes positive vibes and biblically speaking, there is a time for the weeds to be separated from the seeds. The rest of the suggested colours are taken from this source https://99designs.com/blog/web-digital/cryptocurrency-
Now the question would be, how do we qualify those who belong to the following houses?
The answer is very simple as well:
You can easily detect them through their posts as mentioned so since we are sharing short posts" then "WORDS" matter a lot hence if they post lower than the "REQUIRED" number of words, such as an indication and they would be given 3 strikes as per warning.( this the bot can do)
A. Green House Members are expected to have exceeded the minimum word requirement. As per the substance/rubrics/mechanics of their contents/ criteria or whatever you may call it for your convenience, the following suggestions perhaps would help;
Are they able to explain their posts well? ( good attempt, concise style, coherence and organization of thoughts?
Did they give justice to their image? (Proper sourcing)
Are their contents copied from others ( you can use https://www.duplichecker.com for checking plagiarize post)
Words Requirement: 50-80 (so you could articulate your words well. Provided it covered the 3 rubrics/criteria/mechanic however you suit yourself)
B. Gold House Members- following 1, 2, 3 suggested mechanics. It only differs on the words requirement of 35. Please note it doesn't necessarily mean that below word minimum required is considered spam but what accompanied with the rubrics/mechanics. e.g. plagiaze, stealing images (mostly from google) without proper sourcing to where they got the image from. SUBSTANCE is the key!
C. Silver House Members- Those who do not abide by the suggested mechanics/rubrics with low quality post and a generic comments like, "nice, good, very informative post and the liking."
Who will monitor them?
Everyone involved, those who truly care for the platform or if there is a moderator/committee much better, but generally speaking, it entails SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY so if you're using the platform, would it be too much to ask to be an "EYE" for a spam post? Should you really bother whether you belong to the aforementioned house before doing your part?
It is a call to be PROACTIVE once again.
Kindly share on the comment section below the best alternative on how we could lessen the existence of spammers. DOWNVOTING them is the best however "filtering" their entry is a good option too just like how Dutch philosopher Desiderius Erasmus said, "prevention is better than cure!"
