As most people know, transparencybot creates a comment on every post that has received upvotes from paid vote sellers in excess of $50.00. These comments are generally seen as both welcome and very informative by many authors and followers alike.
There are however, those that have found these comments to be intrusive and just plain spam. Many have said that if you disagree with the rewards, simply downvote the post.
So, to solve this problem, transparencybot will be offline for a few days while the programming logic is expanded to allow opting out of the comments left by .
How does it work?
- Only the author of the post may opt out.
- Simply reply via the comment left by transparencybot with the words "opt out" or "optout"
- If you elect to opt out of the comment, then transparencybot reserves the right to downvote your post for disagreement of rewards.
I believe this solves the problem of "spam" and also uses the flag as it was intended.
Constructive feedback is welcome as always.
