@dfox when will the feature of blocking users and blocking spamvotes be introduced. Im getting really annoyed by it every single time 30+ upvotes are given to my rants within a minute...
Its both ruining my overview of notifs and ruining the meaning of upvotes.21 -
Is there a thing like getting shadowbanned from downvoting on devrant or people just running bots that automatically upvote them if they hit negative upvotes?
Whenever I downvote anything thats at 0 upvotes (for ex. even spam that just didnt get noticed, where I cant report it on desktop), it instantly gets nulled, even on the most hidden and old rants.
I dont think theres always a registered user per every single rant out there at any given time that upvotes somebody. (often very deep down the comments)13 -
I always wanted to post something under the devrant tag.
I've worked on the anti spam bots! End result: one process handling four bots that down votes users with a low upvote count having certain content. What that certain content is, is still to be defined / fine tuned. Now it has very minimal criteria but it did successfully flag all spam posts tonight. Down vote function is not ready yet - I did not know what value to post. Probably @feuerherz / @Lensflare can provide that to me.
Not my best source ever, it's made quite quickly and it literally started with c/p-ing stuff from everywhere like several devrant clients on github to make one complete one. They all sucked :P
I hope to finish this project tomorrow night and it will be then of spam as far as I've seen how effective they are.

Review regarding code quality isn't needed for this one, since I've spent zero effort regarding quality. But tips about how to recognize scammers even better is highly appreciated. A review on other projects on molodetz would be appreciated btw, especially on C stuff.
