Non-exclusive content

As you probably have noticed we have added a Stats page to our site and that we've been gaining a lot of users lately:

4910... πŸŽ‰ So-o-o-on..... Big step soon.

What's even more interesting is that the number of points given in any day is skyrocketing and due to that the point price has been dropping:

So, we've decided to take a look at what exactly users are getting points for:

15000 points for publishing articles! 15000 points for 10 thumbs up? 300 articles got 10 thumbs up or more? Well, these must be very good articles! (sarcasm)

No, of course, they are not.

However, as usual, we've been quietly working on something, while enduring more and more waves of "why aren't you doing something"?

We'll leave problem of vote manipulation for tomorrow or maybe later today... we have a solution, but not ready to tell about it yet.

So, we don't usually announce in advance what exactly we're working on, only that we have a plan, so now that it's ready - we have a new original content detector!

This one is able to find a lot of copied stuff, even in other languages, even in comments and posts:

And it can tell you even how big of a chunk did the user take:

Wow, 100% copied in Bangla language! Bad user!

How about this now?

Yep, that's a thing now.

If you have copied a big chunk of text from the Internet, we won't be giving you any points for this.

Happy spamming!

For now it's only about articles, but soon comments, posts and parts copied from read.cash too.

And we'll see you, vote manipulators, soon...

Also, sorry that we're down lately - we're growing too fast and our server gets a bit too crowded for us. We'll deal with it too.

It’s a good news that read. Cash grow up..but it’s also a bad news that spammer are also increasing. So i want to say something i hope read cash see my comment. It's also my own opinion.

  1. New joined members cannot create any community.
    1. If any members do spamming again and again.. Block this members ip adrees.
    2. Anyone can't work read. Cash by using vpn/proxy.
    3. Multiple account are not allowed in read.cash.
    4. When a mambers try to write an article they don’t paste here anything. ( i hope It's very helpful)

I hope my opinion helps read.cash to free from spam. Thank you.

New joined members cannot create any community.

Ok, so let's say they can't, what does it solve? There are hundreds of communities that will accept any crap :) We need to solve THAT problem instead of preventing people from creating communities.

If any members do spamming again and again.. Block this members ip adrees.

Anyone can't work read. Cash by using vpn/proxy.

Impossible. There are thousands of VPN service providers, then don't announce their IP addresses, there is no technical way to detect a person is using VPN.

Multiple account are not allowed in read.cash.

Impossible https://read.cash/c/readcash-f4d8/post-e3059670

When a mambers try to write an article they don’t paste here anything.

A lot of real writers prefer to write their texts in some text editor they know, then paste it here, so we can't forbid people pasting text. The rest is described in the article.

All the new platforms faces this problem of spamming and posting low quality content at the beginning of their developement, some lazy users just in it for points and tips which is expected but also an indicator that the platform is on the right path cuz it's visible enough to attract that kind of users. Just Keep working on improving your algorithm and eventualy you will attract more high quality content creaters. Happy to see u growing, as they say a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. BCH community is here to support you in your first baby steps :). I wish u good luck on your mission and keep up the good work! .πŸ’š

I am quite oblivious to the whole scammer spammer thing. I just try to get articles submitted to the right communities and try not to be too strict in the vetting process, as I don't want to have only professionals getting paid here, but also people to be motivated to grow. If there is anything I can improve or anything I can do to mitigate vote manipulation in my communities, please tell me so. I cannot tell how much I am actually helping scammers right now. If there is one, feel free to point them out.

And yes. The site is going down every now and then, I was suspecting it's because it's going viral. Glad to see those stats. KUDOS!

No, it's ok, you are free to moderate communities as you see fit. There is no way for you to detect vote manipulation on your own (sometimes it's obvious, when a user has nothing but +20 aricles on his account, no matter how stupid articles are, sometimes it's well hidden, but we'll deal with it in due time).

I did republish my work here and it is really possible that you can see my published article on some other internet sites amd social media. Would that still consider as spamming? It is still mine. And, I guess because of that, I have not given points in my comments and some others. I am a bit sad.

1) All this update means is that we (read.cash) won't be paying from our fund for the content that's already been published somewhere, because by republishing you are damaging our website reputation for search engines (duplicate content), so we won't pay for it.

2) There is no way for us to prove that you are who claim to be. As I demonstrated here: https://rcimg.net/images/c4bd5de3/WGozgLdJM3D0Vs1NlOmatef0Z31QeDkZzSWDxp9K.png anyone can claim rights to republish and we don't have hordes of people to research and verify these claims. I can easily register account "dreamer93" and claim that I'm the real "dreamer93" and that you are an impostor... We would need tons of people doing police-like work investigating these claims.

Totally agree with this. I want to see the fund rewarding people who publish exclusive original content on read.cash. That's what brings the most value to this site and should be rewarded accordingly.

$ 2.00
4 years ago

I understand that, but citations is enough to prove it that it's ours. However, I cannot argue with it. I don't seem to want the reward that much, what I am just claiming is the sense of ownership. What if I put my links in there, still not counted? I just feel that I lost ownership to something I owned.

$ 0.00
4 years ago

You have to understand that as soon as we say "citation is enough to prove your the owner" - we'll be full of people claiming to be THAT author of that post on Facebook they just copied. A few months ago we told that block quotes would be excluded from copy-paste detection - now we have full articles posing as quotes from multiple authors. Don't underestimate people in pursuit of a quick buck - they'll be posing your content (with a link to you, claiming to be you) in no time.

Finally a good move, the spam has been getting real annoying these days. Like, some people copied comments from the same article they posted them in! It's so blatant and shameless.

No, we can't ban people just because their text appears somewhere, they could still be the original author for all we know. And we can't really deal with nearly 5000 users on a case-by-case basis (and the number is growing daily), so we need automatic rules that discourage bad behavior, but we can't automatically ban people based on our guesses. Bans are applied only for provable offences (like, for example, for personal attacks on other people or posting obviously illegal material).

Also, frankly, bans solve nothing. The user can register a new account in about a minute :)

Happy spamming... Well, at least you gave me a good laugh with that one. It makes the job for moderators much easier. We only need to click the reject button and report. Moderating is indeed a hell of a job and I am happy I no longer see that auto adding option. πŸ‘

I really hope the moderators will do something else too as just adding. I noticed they aren't great commenters and the few who do have no idea what they just read.

You are doing a great job and if there's too much traffic it gives me a break and it's good to know this is not due to my slow connection for a change.

Btw since most articles are not commented (read at all by communities) the thumb up isn't there at all. I guess it's saved for own users only or simply forgotten.

I am not saying the thumb up or down doesn't show just that people comment at most and forget to click on the thumb up. They forget to do it. At least I assume it since a comment like "this is an unique article which adds a lot to our community" suggests to me it's worth the thumb up or?
