Spam filtering is coming to Warpcast. 

Over the last 3 months, we've labelled thousands of spammy accounts by hand and @akshaan has carefully trained an ML model to do this automatically. 

We're rolling out this model starting today, and it will significantly improve the user experience.

Spam is posting irrelevant content in public spaces to farm reactions and follows. 

Some examples: 
- Posting irrelevant replies to someone's cast 
- Posting irrelevant content in a channel
- Mentioning or recasting users unnecessarily

Here's a one from a few minutes ago:

Are content creators who tag builders about to get hammered? 👀

Why would that happen?

He said unnecessary tags (spammy tags)

Issue 66 is in 📬 

Highlight:

👉🏻 @base continues on its tear. Recently surpassing 1B in volume on uniswap. @foundation recently announced base support & this week we see our 1st 1/1 sale on base w/ @neurocolor

How would that event be written in code? Is it based on volume/amount? The easy ones are saying words that aren’t aligned with channel. But how do we differentiate between regular & spam. As an example, I tagged 3 ppl here, is that too much? Where is the line

Here’s another example. They don’t need to share the rules as then ppl will find way to circumvent but this could be considered spam or not depending how it’s written

I mean they could always whitelist you (or me) as they see we are tagging people featured in the articles 

As long as it is once or twice per month (maybe even once per week) should be good for a decently smart system

Agreed, and yeah for me at most it’s once a week. They’re super smart so I’m sure they got it.
