I agree, but action simply had to be taken against some of these spammers/harvesters. At some point there were thousands and tenthousands of tips per hour going through a whole carefully set up network only meant (and the only activity on the accounts) for tip-harvesting. It created a lot of spam on the blockchain, and a drain of resources.
A tried my best at that time to make sure that we could stop it, which we did. And since your question now is the first remark that came in after it being in production for over a year, I think it wasn't done that bad ;-)

Perhaps you may want to use what other people on Hive do to make their bots resistant to spammers, such as @kenny-crane implementing a restriction on his #tokenfaucet giveaway bot where only Hive accounts that have more than 50 Reputation and are not blacklisted elsewhere on Hive can participate !INDEED. 🤔

Thanks for the tip! Looking into the possibilities of implementing something similar, to aid or replace the current system.

Here are some of the options you can use to minimize "spam & farm" tippers !INDEED for your token tipping bots (particularly the !ALIVE token tipping bot in this case). 🤓

require a minimum Hive Reputation (35 Rep as you said on your other comment)
require not being in certain blacklists (of your choice)
admins and mods (of the #WeAreAlive tribe)using a report command
big (ALIVE) holders (let's say 20,000 ALIVE or more staked) using a report command
manual review from any Hive person who reports "spam & farm" activity

Implemented as we speak ;-) And as such, lowering the other guards a bit!
Do keep the gate of reputation of 35 instead of 50, to allow for newer accounts to join the tipping fun as well.

50 Reputation as a requirement is somewhat high, so I and @savvytester helped some people on Hive boost their respective Hive accounts' Reputation to 50 !INDEED by curating all their comments. 😅 Reaching 50 Reputation without publishing any post is really hard, just like what @savvytester experienced before when their comments still didn't get enough curation. 🤯🤓
