Thanks a lot for your quick response, and the info, brother! I like that idea! πππβ¨π€

Though you'd like it ;-) And it makes things better for the loyal users, while still keeping us safe from spammers and harvesters! ;-)

While I can Power Up more ALIVE to reach a higher ALIVE tipping tier (and have more relaxed limits) by selling my other #HiveEngine tokens, I would have a hard time explaining to other ALIVE token tippers that restrictions are in place "to reduce tipping spamming/farming". ππ€―
I certainly understand that. It was originally put in place because some notable 'spam fighters' contacted us to ask us to counter the spam use of our bots. This mostly happened with the MMB bots, but Bjorn implemented the same thing for ALIVE too, just to be on the safe side, since there's enough downvoting occurring. πππβ¨π€

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 ;-)

Indeed, it's a very good balance, a trust scaling! πππβ¨π€

Because of that update, I would have a much more difficult time to tip all 10 !ALIVE tokens (especially without any token tipping attempt failing). πΈπ€― It would be completely okay though if there is a fixed limit for tipping a given Hive account per day (let's say 5 or even 3 which your and @borniet's MMB-based tipping tokens already have), because I can publish 3 to 5 comments and not just 1 comment within a given 600-second period. π€―π€

I understand. I wasn't keeping close track of the tipping limits, since I rarely seemed to have issues. The spammers and the farmers are the ones that we we asked to restrict. πππβ¨π€

I know that you want to minimize the effect of unwanted tipping of your (and @tydynrain's) Hive tipping tokens (the ALIVE token in this case), though I really think that it harms more legitimate tippers, since "spammers and farmers" will just find other ways to take unfair advantage of such tipping tokens !INDEED. ππ€―

I've updated a large part of the anti-spamming measures, so it should not hurt real users anymore. Let's see how this plays out now, and adjust more if needed.
