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". 🙁🤯
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. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It's nice to be informed that some people spam and farm Hive token tipping bots such that their respective owners would put protective measures in place, but it's no longer nice when people flag token tipping bots' respective Hive accounts. 🧘♂️🤯

I noticed that @savvytester told you 4 hours ago that someone apparently got annoyed by getting tagged by a Hive token tipping bot (whether or not the bot is working properly) !INDEED. 🤯

And yet, the LOLZ token tipping bot continues doing the same thing which gives it "bad days", and that's mentioning LOLZ tippers even when nothing actually got tipped. 🤯

savvyplayer, you mined 0.9 🟧 HBIT and the user you replied to (tydynrain) received 0.1 HBIT on your behalf as a tip. You can receive 100% of the HBIT by replying to one of your own posts or comments. When you mine HBIT, you're also playing the Wusang: Isle of Blaq game. 🏴☠️ | tools | wallet | discord | community | daily <><
What's more, you found 1.0 ⚪ BLAQ pearl as a bonus treasure token!
Your random number was 0.17287906777731665, also viewable in the Discord server, #hbit-wusang-log channel. Check for bonus treasure tokens by entering your username at block explorer A, explorer B, or take a look at your wallet.
There is a treasure chest of bitcoin sats hidden in Wusang: Isle of Blaq. Happy treasure hunting! 😃 Read about Hivebits (HBIT) or read the story of Wusang: Isle of Blaq.
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). 🤓

All this, and some more general anti-spam measures that you should never encounter (>100 tips of the same bot on a single post and such) are now implemented.

I !HOPE that you clarify what >100 tips of the same bot on a single post means. 🤔 Does that mean that any of your !MMB-based token tipping bots will not tip more than 100 times under a single post? 🤯 If yes, I wonder what period of time that would be. 😅
Anyway, I think that you should avoid discussing the more specific details of your anti-spam measures to avoid giving "spammers and farmers" ideas !INDEED! 🤓

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. 🤯🤓
