We’re counting on you to flag any posts or reviews that are inappropriate/spam. Let us collectively determine what is acceptable and where we should draw the line.

So your own account ends up flagged into oblivion, then what? And if bad actors appear, you have to change the keys and lock all the legit users out. How is this going to ever work well?

Hey sircork thanks for the feedback :)

I don't have the answer, but like any beta we'll have to test and adjust. It cost me 0.5 steem to create this account, it's well worth the chances of it working out :)

However, if it turns into a disaster, I won't hesitate to shut it down.

Well, it's definitely going to be a fascinating experiment, but as a former director of technology for a significant social networking app (long while back, name no longer in business as such) I will tell you, you're gonna find all the idiots show up pretty quickly if something is exploitable. Once again, it's neat, I hope it works, but I don't trust "people" so to speak in large numbers, because fools seem to always float to the surface. :D

Haha yes I agree, I'm putting all my faith in the people for this to work.

A better system/separate website will follow, just collecting feedback and gaging direction with this beta/experiment.

Thank you for your honest input and with good reason/experience to support your thoughts. I too hope this works for the time being! :)

@robchen

I do too, it's kinda cool. Makes me wonder whatever happened to the comment driven ebay style auction bot that somebody made last fall, it seemed to work pretty well, but after a week or two of people playing with it, I never saw it again. I can't recall what it was called now though.

Interesting, I will try to find that learn from it.

I'll also do my best to keep this relevant. I could work this into @hyperfundit.com's operations and find influencers to promote this channel

@robchen

Oh and I seem to be the thorn in your side today but..

I'm enjoying your company, shows that you care :D

I'm making that account next, this is all just happening right now

@robchen

Rock on then, busy one!

You got it! He does care, @hyperfundit , about a great many aspects of this platform. It's why I jumped at the chance to partner in witnessing with him. He'll tell ya like it is! LOL :-)

I'm sharing this post with hubby, who's been asking about a seller's platform here.

Hi rhondak, yes @sircork is the kind of person who helps make Steemit go round and also motivates me to do better with my work :D

Thanks for sharing rhondak :)

@robchen

Ive made an inquiry of the user I learned about the auction bot from, to see if we can find out it's account name and what happened to it. ill report back if i get any leads.
