One of the posters in my territory is repeatedly creating freebie posts. Obviously it's not an option on the edit menu. Any idea what's going on?

Would you like the option to turnoff freebies in a territory?

reply

Yes. I think that's a great idea.

I'll add to The List™️

You can probably bind that list into a book.

lol I've always imagined it more like a scroll

Done!

Thanks very much. That was fast. Only 11,237 more and you're done.

I didn't even know this was a feature until I looked in the code.

Apparently, if you run out of sats, you can still post limited visibility posts:

function FreebieDialog () {
  return (
    <>
      <div className='fw-bold'>you don't have enough sats, so this one is on us</div>
      <ul className='mt-2'>
        <li>Free items have limited visibility until other stackers zap them.</li>
        <li>To get fully visibile right away, fund your account with a few sats or earn some on Stacker News.</li>
      </ul>
    </>
  )
}

There you go. Thanks. I guess he's waiting to get zapped. Maybe there should be a post limit on this?

another mystery one. I think someone is playing with the API and spamming anon: #344101

I saw a bunch of the same cat gif spammed by anon today.

I think that's a friendly spirit just having fun. I've seen that feline before.

Turns out the account has been on SN for less than a day. So far it's earned 324 sats. So, its gaming the system by posting, withdrawing, and posting again with a zero balance. Perfect spam plan.
