We're noticing more gaming on the leaderboard. 

Will be making some algo changes this week to address voting rings and  similar coordinated behavior to game the leaderboard.

Thanks to everyone who reported these issues.

We chatted about the leaderboard a lot last night and many folks noticed shenanigans. Glad to see the team taking action. 

But if the leaderboard isn’t sparking joy, turn off the notifications. The points are made up and are not your worth or the value of your content.

@mvr hopefully some of the shenanigans you’ve seen will be knocked out with this next iteration.

I haven't looked into this specifically, but I think what I wrote about spammy accounts applies here too.

Apart from that, a voluntary onchain label to mark your account as a bot would be useful for several reasons. Such as preventing loops in replies.

However there are too many active 'dubious' accounts that have been given a label 2. Of groups of FIDs with the same behavior that I have investigated, roughly 10% pass the spam filtering. Besides that, farming FIDs do not necessarily have to be spammy to farm. So more attention should be paid to group behavior. When I have time, I will see what I can discover in the data on reward farming.

I know @mvr has thoughts! Probably @cryptonjal too
