Joining Cheetah, @clamps sole purpose is to help fight against SPAM bots and plagiarists
Using @xeroc ' s piston, Clamps was born with the need to put a CLAMP on bad bots
Targets include:
Spam bots
Bot who post valueless comments (aka "great post!" comment on everyone's articles)Plagiarists
The contents of posts will be searched online with the comparison results sent to me for review until the algorithm is dialed in. Auto downvoting will not be employed to prevent innocent bloggers who repost from getting hit.
Functionality NOT included:
Auto upvoting of posts. Instead, a list will be sent for me to review at the end of each day to manually upvote to prevent upvoting "test" posts and poor content.
No auto posting until I get the plagiarism algorithm tested thoroughly
