700 sats \ 44 replies \ @kepford 6 Nov 2023 \ on: Stacker Saloon
Is it me or has the signal to noise ratio decreased on SN in the last week? I have used the flag feature for the first time. Maybe this is a sign of the return of the bull market. Do we need to brace ourselves for the hordes of shitcoiners?
There's talk of increasing the cost of posting. Hopefully, that will address it.
I think part of the issue is that we've been zapping content at much larger magnitudes (which I whole-heartedly endorse) and that might be drawing new people to the site. With any luck, they'll assimilate and start adding value once they realize that's how to get the biggest rewards.

I think down zapping is also good.

I never think to do that. It is a public service, though, and I applaud you for doing it.

flagging is a visible FU to the poster
What does it look like to the poster?
reply
Exactly my question. I don't know. We could test it lol. Flag this post
reply
They don't see any difference. Their post appears as if nothing happened even if it's outlawed.
The outlaw state is hidden from them too (if they continue to be logged in).

and the sats goes to SN pool too.

Exactly!

I really feel good when I flag with some sats a shity post, because I know that those sats are going back to the posts/users that deserve them.
SN is fucking awesome!

down zapping
I never knew this is possible. How?
reply
Click on the three dots above the comment or post and click flag. Then you can downzap
reply
Ok. Thank you for letting me know.

There is?

Yes, peak pricing to be specific, aka global fee escalation.
@Undisciplined had a really simple version where
base cost = num posts in last hourWe could also just raise the base fee. There's also someone zapping nearly every post 10 sats which makes practically every post profitable.

Oh cool yes now that you describe this I think I read the original discussion on this. Sounds good!

Yeah, I’ve also flagged a few posts that seemed to be poor attempts at making something clickbaity but just didn’t really fit here

Need to brush off my writing again this week. We can all be the change we want to see.
Think we were blessed with some great content in October. November might just be a slow month so far. Has been for my brain.

Yeah, same here.
reply
I had to flag this one, because I had already zapped the other post.
reply
I don't see anything on this post. I have no feedback
reply
Interesting. I see a little flag icon on the post.
reply
Yeah there is a visual indication when you flag something but apparently the user being flagged doesn't know what is happening.
This reminds me of the good ole bozo filter on blogs. If you have a spammer in your comments you don't block them from posting you just make it so only they see their comments :).

I recall reading somewhere that it takes more than one user flagging something.
@kepford: I added another flag to your post that @Undisciplined flagged. See something now?
