Is there any kind of captcha on the submission for RMS? If not perhaps a direct link to the other RMS's and a requirement to post there.
- djtumolo 16y agoAgree. Also add a moderation queue. It doesn't go live as an RMS unless you pass either captcha + moderation or karma check. A great way to gain karma would be to review the moderation queue.
- LiveTheDream 16y agoHow do you stop spammers from building up their karma by reviewing that moderation queue by upvoting their own spammy submissions?

- mickdarling 16y agoThe system just needs to remove the possibility of a closed loop that could be entirely automated. Some part of the loop of gaining or loaning karma must involve content creation that is rated by known good human actors. Timing is actually one of the simplest techniques to game. Create the account and wait. Content creation is one of the best ways to ensure no gaming is happening.
- jackolas 16y agoMeta-moderation? But thats a lot of effort, and you'd really have to want to see feedback.
