(RECAP)Comment farming(spamming) must stop on proofofbrain

over 2 years ago

Good day to everyone...

So today i want to talk about comment spamming on this platform...i have talked about this before...but it seems things have still not changed...

Proofofbrain of course is a wonderful platform where everyone can get wonderful rewards via their contents or also earn great rewards via curating of amazing contents on this platform..

Now i also realized that users on this platform can also get rewarded via engagements projects that are organized by some wonderful users on proofofbrain..and when i talk about engagements,i mean by interacting with other users on the platform via comments etc..

Now of course,on every platform that rewards users,there will be users who are genuine and honest when trying to get rewards and there will also be some set of users that will want to earn rewards in the most dishonest way including plagiarism,spamming etc...

I was going through some wonderful contents on this platform and i saw a particular user @gangstalking who automatically keeps spamming each content with his or her spammy comments....

I thought that was all until i realized that there are more people who are spamming on this platform via comments on this platform,for example a post that is more than 500 words will get posted and within seconds you see some users already commenting on the post and make it obvious that they did not even read the post they are commenting on,they just do spamming via their comments,some will even make comments that are not related to the post..

There are also some sets of spammers that will rewrite a very large portions of your post and turn it to a comment on your post,infact their comment will be so much longer than the post itself and the comment is just like rewriting the original post and add maybe their own few words and thats all...

So i started to ask myself "why will some users want to do that"??what will they gain from it??then after doing my research i realized that there is a wonderful engagement project started by a user named @amr008.pob and on the project,people can get huge upvotes on their comments....now there are some algorithm or kind of mechanics or some kind of calculations which the user uses to determine the upvote value that those comments by those users gets...

Then i realized that some of the things that determine the upvote value that the person gets on their comments is the number of people they replied to,the number of characters they type,the length of the comments,the number of posts they reply etc...

So some of these comment spammers are aware about the information so they now tactically start spamming via so many irrelevant comments and they rewrite the original post by the poster and turn it into a comment so that the comment will be very long and have alot of typed characters that will make them get higher undeserved upvote value...in other words,they are gaming the system.....and they are reaping very huge rewards via the engagement projects....

Now another shocker...there are also some set of comment farmers that will post a comment that consist of the various google language translation of the original post..and many of their comments will always be very very long post which is even x5 longer than the original post...smh...

it is sad though..check the screenshots below to see an example of what i am talking about.....
