RE: Monthly Recap

Thank you. I agree with the activities used to counter botnets. To counter bots, one has to have private discords to discuss the strategy.

My primary account @yintercept has 5000 HP. I am happy to join in DVs against abusive bots.

My view is that interaction with real people should be done in the comment section; so that the people using HIVE can see what HiveWatchers is doing. For example, I reported a new account that copied a press release into HIVE.

I created @irivers for a purpose which I will restate.

Internet Rivers Account & Review the World Community

Web site reviews played an important role in Web 1.0. Web Site Reviews might have a place on HIVE.

I created a large number of local internet portals back in the day. I kept the ones that failed under the Community Color and gave the rest away. I removed the interactive features on these sites, but kept the reviews and directory listings.

I created the HIVE Community Review the World to hold reviews. I created the account @irivers to write the reviews.

I list sites related to HIVE on Internet Rivers. I decided to write unsolicited reviews for these sites. I decided to use the name "An Outsider Look at ..." to emphasize that the unofficial nature of the effort. The reviews are often first impressions.

Note, I was using this structure to review affiliate programs a few years back. So the reviews are tied up with a bunch of affiliate ads.

I write the reviews so that the first half is on Internet Rivers. The second half is on a Hive Interface. This should create a flow of traffic into HIVE.

To make the reviews appear objective, I like to write something positive and something that needs improvement in each review.

I always welcome criticism in this project. The whole point of reviews is that things gradually improved through a system of structured analysis.

I think that this is a solid structure. But it also looks a little spammy; so I can why it would be scooped up in efforts to protect HIVE against spam.
