460 sats \ 30 replies \ @grayruby 24 Jul \ on: Incentivizing Downzapping meta
I don't think about the cost or consider the lack of reward. I just downzap what I feel should be downzapped.
I happened to be SN briefly around 3am this morning and I saw a new user joined and their first post was just a cut and paste of your entire Punishment as a Public Good post. Clearly they saw the numbers you did and were trying to get some sats. I downzapped, then downzapped their bio post, then left a snarky comment.
If Stackers want the best possible SN environment they should take the approach that the cost is worth it long term because if the site is riddled with spam, sats farming and garbage posts SN will not likely succeed and that will be a net loss to all stackers both from a community perspective and a financial perspective.
Downzapping can be looked at as a maintenance cost.
I nominate you for sheriff.

Make @siggy47 the sheriff. He knows the law better than most. I don't want to downzap anyone to be honest. Only obvious bots, sats farmers and grifters.

Yes, make @siggy47 the sheriff and @undisciplined must be judge to decide upon if there's any controversy arising out of downzapping.
I would be terrible in that role. I lack the ability to spot stuff like obvious ai, bots, etc. Often other stackers have to point them out to me. @carlosfandango seems to have a knack for sniffing this stuff out, as did the legendary @nemo

I think that's all most of us want. I've been making more of a point to downzap stuff like that, too.
The change I made is that I'm just doing one sat, unless it's egregiously bad. My thinking is that if I'm wrong, the one sat won't hurt them. However, if I'm right, the downzap will make it cheaper for someone else to outlaw them.

I dont think I have met any sat farmers or grifters yet.
Were they more common before?
Or do they still show up?

Do you have Wild West mode enabled? If not, you won't see the posts and comments that have been outlawed.

Not really, but that’s why you’re not seeing the spam.
