I'm very clear on it. If people run behind incentives and start downzapping the good content as well, SN wouldn't be the same place as it's now.

Providing incentives for punishment does not seem to me a good option. Also, it seems to me that there's no infestation of bots and spammers on SN upto now. Seeing a few here and there shouldn't bother everyone so much so to start asking for incentives for downzapping.

Take this as my personal opinion! Not an argument, you're better experienced than I.

I actually agree with you.

While we're a small community, it's easy enough and relatively effective to informally coordinate how we're dealing with spam.

I'm thinking about down the road, when we may be too large for that type of coordination. I'm also just really interested in this kind of mechanism design.

If it's done right, then the incentives for downzapping should be fairly trivial until spam is a much larger issue.

I've a better suggestion, may be! Why don't we employ some Stackers as spam/bot detectors and give them the ability to downzap such comments and posts. For their work these inspector Stackers should be rewarded. This is the best I can think of for the long run when we have to deal with lot of folks running in here.

You're proposing we have sheriffs. That would be very much on-brand.

There certainly might be something interesting there.

I didn't say sherrifs but yeah some responsible Stackers would be required to oversee spam and bots.

I watched a Stacker get dox’d and threatened for calling out the 5hitty behaviour of bots, 5hitcoiners and AI content.

Really? When was that?

Good point, now I'm remember this.

This was back when I downzapped much more and spent some time hunting for AI/stolen content to outlaw. IIRC the stacker had a WANTED list in their bio of who they've downzapped/muted so far, who were shitcoiners etc.
