Intro
Right now stoodkev is working hard in the now Utopian-bot, he doesn't tell us to much but I think this new version is going to be more intelligent.
I mentioned in a previous post How Utopian-bot works, in that post I was more focused in features like body length, upvotes, likes, links, images. I this post I'm going to be more focused on How Utopian-bot penalize you when he detected other bots.
Problem
Currently The Bot penalize you with ~1.5% for each bot he detected
-Utopian has detected 1 bot votes. I am the only bot you should love!!
In my opinion this is ok, but if you have a lot of bots the penalization will be huge although you didn't call those bots.
For example when you have completed some achievement on Steemit
or when someone call some bot for you because they think is a great idea (or spambots or trolls or whatever)
The list of bots has more than 100 and still increasing
littleboy and ruah are adding bots every day. [1] - [2] - [3]
Idea
Days ago @ruah had an idea for this.
Here is another idea for the same problem.
In this moment you get more Bonus from The Bot if you have more upvotes and reward in your posts, more bots upvote you more bonus you get, so...
First, don't add the upvotes and rewards from bots to the Bonus.
Second, penalize an user if he has more bots than X instead of for each bot he has.
*More than 0 bots = -1.5%
*More than 5 bots = -3%
*More than 10 bots = -4.5%
*and so on...
With this the penalization isn't too strong (e.g. you didn't call any bot) and you can not take advantage with the bots.
Solution
Pseudocode
This is just an easy and temporary solution
What do you think about this bots? and about this idea?
