One misconception I see about spam labeling: "I'm a real human. I'm not a bot."

Claiming "I'm not a bot" doesn't change the quality of your content. If you're farming replies and not being thoughtful, that's spam.

And saying "Oh, I was just hoping to make some money, I'll do better in the future" doesn't work. Because every spammer will say the same thing.

It's not hard to not be spammy. Just cast a little less, be a little more thoughtful.

"Why do you keep telling people what to do?"
"Stop being a hall monitor!"
"People aren't going to change."

Sure, but better to be clear upfront when we start tweak the spam labeling algorithms.

re: hall monitor — yes, I am. Quality is what drives growth, that requires rules and taste. If you don't like those rules / taste, use or build another client. Beauty of a decentralized system.

And to be clear: if you're just casting in your own timeline or channels, algo won't care about it. It's when you start taxing other people's attention (and potentially making the experience worse for others), that you might get labeled.

there should be a process to it.

yes, you’re labeled as spam.
to remove this label do this and state how long it will take for a user to leave spam.

can we give everyone a second chance now that they know why they’re in spam?

there are over 1600 users in spam, half probably don’t know why they’re in it.

i’m a new user, been here for 3 months and i have never been in spam, but i understand how it feels to be unseen.

i’m a nobody and my opinion probably doesn’t count here but please give them a fresh start.

This is a cast pleading with you to remove everyone from spam.

i know some users will definitely revert back to spamming but then no one can blame the system because you gave them a chance and a detailed explanation of what to avoid doing to not get labeled as “spam”.

right now it doesn’t seem fair.

What happens when the person reverts to spamming again?
