The signals that tend to do very well fall into one of three categories: 

1. Graph based -- spammers often share similar patterns of activity which can be used to catch them 

2. Behaviors - they also tend to do things a certain way, because they're being repetitive in their actions (e.g. posting at fixed internals) 

3. Textual - the content of their casts is often very predictive of their quality

excellent thread from @v summarizing the spam problem, what they've learned, and the path ahead.

if you're worried you've been unfairly labeled as "a spammer" read this thread.

Their system is more thoughtful than you might assume and learns quickly.

Authenticity is the goal ✨

You shouldn't have any inconvenience to new users by getting a spammer. 

For example, I was talking about a situation where only channel members can write. 

We should welcome them and welcome them with kindness.

i guess.

no one is entitled to anyone else's attention. new users have to earn that, which is necessarily less convenient than getting it without work 

it is true now that only channel members are allowed to write to the channel root.

agree on kindness ☺️
