Hey Steemit,

I've one of those crazy ideas again. I was thinking, what if we could integrate Robot9000 into the Steem blockchain?

What the heck is Robot9000 ?

Robot9000 was created by the folks behind XKCD, Randall Munroe and his crew.
Here is a link that describes it:
https://blog.xkcd.com/2008/01/14/robot9000-and-xkcd-signal-attacking-noise-in-chat/

To sum up how it would work: basically Robot9000 would reject repeated posts or comments.

For example, one person could write "nice post". If a second person wrote "nice post", this would be rejected by the system. They would have to write "very nice post" and so on.

A system like this could greatly enhance the quality of dialog. People would need to write full and unique sentences or paragraphs to avoid collisions with previous posts/comments. Once your post or comment has more than 20 words in it, the odds that it will collide become astronomically low.

Anti-spam!

What would this do for Steemit? It would be fantastic for fighting spam! No more people spewing out "Nice post! Follow me I'll follow you!". The system itself would reject this sort of thing, neatly and elegantly, without me having to police it.

It wouldn't even need to use the entire history of the Steem blockchain. Looking back for only a month could be sufficient. (So you'd be allowed to write "nice post" once per month.)

Downsides of this:

• It might be hard for a new user to figure out why they can't write "nice post" on a post they like. The user interface would have to do a great job of explaining it.

• This would be devastating for poor @ionlysaymeep .

What do you think Steemit?
