Re: 🔥🔥 [ANN] Answerly App 🔥🔥 - PLATFORM LIVE - ⚡Blockchain based Q/A platform.⚡
Since i repeatedly see "best answer", is there no "best question" selection? So the user is free to ask anything regardless the quality of the question? There should be an anti-spam filter that will reject repeated questions, or some kind of reduced in reward if asked repeatedly, of course this weakness will be exploited by people later.
Hey, thanks for your question. We thought about this for some time and we believe that it only makes sense to have "Best answer" to any question. Technically, there is no such thing as best question so our only challenge is to prevent the users from asking duplicate and non-sensical questions on answerly. We've planned 2 anti-spam strategies to this problem.
1. As soon as someone posts a question, it will be forwarded to the moderation team of Answerly. Moderation team will either approve the question or reject it. If the team decides to reject the question, they will also list down the reason for doing it. The questioner will be informed about the status of his question in the notification section.
2. If you've signed up to Answerly, you may have noticed something called "Credits". This is basically a limit to how many questions and answers a user can post. As a free user, you will get 30 credits per month, which you can use to post 30 questions, 30 answers, or a combination of both. In order to increase this limit to 100, 500 and 750 credits / month, the user will have to subscribe for the pro-membership that costs $10-30 (respectively). This will ensure safety from spam. So technically, the users cant sign-up and start posting thousands of questions because he will run out of credits after 30 questions. Also, those 30 questions will first be approved by the moderation team.
I hope this answers your query.
If I may jump in to join the conversion, what'll be the preventive measure for multi account? Even with 30/month limitation, if someone created 100 accounts and (let's say) tweaked posting bots that trash posting on this forum a bit, it'll still be troublesome
Mobile SMS verification upon withdrawal. Even if the users chooses to skip mobile verification upon signing up, they must confirm their mobile number before their first withdrawal.
Secondly, The payment links are forwarded to the user's email which they can use to claim their earnings on Lobstr. We've partnered up with Lobstr.co to prevent any this issue with duplicate accounts (emails, sms verification etc).
We're using Twilio for sms verification which pretty much limits all blacklisted mobile numbers. This would prevent any user to use SMS verification services that allow you to register hundreds of accounts. That being said, there are always ways to somehow do it but it just have to be such a costly and time-consuming method that no-one would actually bother to.
