Life of a moderator
September 19, 2020
I picked up my car today and arrived home safely after a long drive, a visit to a gas station, and three shops. Of course, the guy who drove me didn't do it for free. It would have cost me nothing if I had called for a cab. No bill means no insurance will pay for it. The repairs did cost me 350 euros by now. An awful lot of money for a car I just bought. An amount I can not afford. The seller didn't contact me neither did the travel insurance company. How disappointing. Both can expect my mail and bills.
Once back home I decided to read some answers to the articles I wrote yesterday and posted early this morning (before 8 a.m.) first.
One by one I click on my articles and read and answer the comments. Guess what? The number of spammers increased. The "nice", " wow", follow me", "keep practicing one day you will be a good writer", " I like the story Cinderella", more "nice" and "wow" and except for two people no one really read me!
What to do?
I have the answer for you.
Answer or report or whatever you like. If you ask me nothing happens if you click the "remove to spam" button in notifications. The loud comments are still shown.
I paid all those "amaaaazing" commenters a visit.
All from the same country and new accounts. To be honest I feel pity for those few good writers, those people from Bangladesh willing to read, comment, and write. The lazy commenters, spammers give them a bad name, me, and if it comes to me? I won't let them do this to me. I am not giving them a second chance, I block them immediately and that is what you should do too.
Since two till three days I block the RC users not willing to read and engage.
I never did it before but I am no longer interested in useless comments, greedy people who want me to follow them and do nothing for me. Like we say here "Only the sunset is for free!"
I will not follow you if you are not able to publish something I like. I hate the begging for followers which means if you write that I skip you!
I am willing to invest my time in others and I expect the same from other users and I am not the only one. My colleague moderators deal with the same issues. They work hard for you, read and comment you, even give upvotes and tips and in return, there's a "wow" at most. A "wow" or "nice". What does that mean? Do not think you are the only one with a hard life.
You can tag me, ask me if you need help but keep in mind my time is as precious as yours and I am the one who decides how I will spend it.
Let's moderate a bit and see if something good is written that deserves attention from the RC readers & commenters.
yeah I remember you posted an article about your car being fixed. Glad to hear it's done already. 💜
your car is still under insurance? why haven't they contacted you, then.. ughhh business tactics sometimes is awful...
Spammers are here again??? Well, I've seen about 2-3 spam comments in my articles. Didn't know they're that active again. Well, 'old habits are hard to break' as what others say... Too bad for them, though..
I don't answer to their comments now (spammers) cause I read some articles before about being hit back by spammers. And I don't want to go that far haha..
I pity the countries previously mentioned by readcash that he thinks has many incapable people to write a good content. I agree with you that these kind of people are making their country look bad. Giving bad reputation for their country. And good writers from those countries are somewhat 'affected' by the thought. I pity good writers of these countries.
What I do is report the comment and block some persistently "bad" users... I wonder though if blocking a user can affect their status here at readcash as a user. I mean the points they can get from random rewarder.
fierce! I love that. It sounds hot and sexy! I like that boldness.
