Can you fix your bots to not respond to spammers?

@themarkymark, I apologize. I had no intention of causing problems on Hive. @borniet and I created several new tipping bots, with @zombiebot being the latest. My intention in sharing tokens the way I have was to let people know that they existed. I just realized what had happened last night. I love Hive, and I'm deeply committed to it and its success, so I'm truly sorry that my numerous tip calls were perceived as spam. I'll stop the practice as I've been doing it immediately. Was there a problem specifically with @zombiebot, or just my copious use of tip calls? I need to make this right.

I don't see the value of creating 5+ tip bots that distribute tokens of no value yet create a ton of comment spam, especially when you don't prevent spammers from abusing it. One novelty tip bot that has an interesting twist, sure. Mass producing them to just churn out spam is silly.

I understand that. We have plans, and a roadmap is still being created, to add value to all the tokens that we've created so far. All our development is quite new, and perhaps we could have gone slower, making sure each token had use cases and value before moving on to a new one. @borniet has filters on the bots to prevent (beyond one call) them from answering spamming accounts that use the call that don't have any of the tokens that they're calling. He said that at least one individual seems able to get the the filter. Are those the sorts of spamming accounts to which you're referring, or others?

OK, I appreciate that feedback, thank you. Our intention is to create interesting, fun, and useful tipping bots for the community, as a part of a larger meta-project, that we hope will offer strong benefits and and value to the community. The ones we have are still in development, testing, and refinement, and changes can easily be made, and we are, as we learn from experience what works and doesn't. Is there a way that modifying the tip replies, and where they appear, would help? We're both very open to making changes that work better for people. I'll do my best, and I know @borniet will as well (and when his time permits), to work with any feedback that we receive. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
