How to stop them?
I have raise my concern about what happening in the Cent community, from what I observe during the contributor contest that I run. My concern is about the number of posters in the community that got downvoted by adm and other respected members of Hive which I know would not use their downvote power just for abuse.
I have seen so many posters come and go in the community, usually the recently made account that come and post in the Cent community. Recently I also see that most of them are made around the same time and make almost the same move from one to the other which shows that they are actually coming from the same source who already know how Hive works, but decided to use a new account. I will give them the benefit of a doubt, but since they at the end got downvoted by adm, it means that they know what they are doing, and deliberately doing the bad thing to Hive and also to the Cent Community.
So how to stop them? or maybe how to spot them?
to stop them is a little bit harder, but to spot them it is quite easy. just look at their pattern and the post that they made. We know how hard it was when we first navigating to hive, and if a new account seems to know all the things on Hive, then we should rise our concern.
The post is long and seems like made by professionals is another sign that raises my concern, in the coming days or months, the account that I am observing now will be gone and downvoted by adm, and then I guess they will be operating with the same method.
It is just sad to see more and more people get downvoted to zero, and it only brings a bad image to the community and to the other who love the community and are the ones doing things in a good way.

Hello. The first problem is people who have somehow reduced their reputation score (spam content, etc.) and are looking for a solution in our Community. This isn't just a problem with Cent. They generally prefer small but fast-developing communities. They think it will increase their reputation by getting random votes. We constantly mute such users on the community page. But they never end.
The second group is the reward milkers. It is really difficult to distinguish these users from other users who produce organic content. It is necessary to follow it for a certain period of time. Usually artificial intelligence etc. They try to mislead the curators with content that is easy to produce by using or mostly just a few images.
Unfortunately, there is no permanent and definitive solution to this. When voting for new users in the community, abstain for a certain period of time. Stay away from users who follow very few people, do not communicate with anyone, have power down constantly on, or are constantly shooting.
I'm pinning this content. If you have any suggestions on this subject, we would like to know. We also welcome suggestions from other users.
the use of AI is what the things that mostly lead them to get downvoted. I know how hard it is to make a post, but using them as the source instead of just a helping tool will only lead to downvotes.
All I can say that we need to see one's pattern and also the type of content that they produce, and for me a long format post, is certainly difficult, if they can do it everyday with advance English, I must say it should rise a red flag. But again I don't want to make accusation, sad to see taht because of them all of us will be affected, especially you as the leader of the community.
It is a hard work to do, but over time hopefully we will be able to spot them even more easier.
Wow. Thanks for the explanation. I began to wonder what was happening. Cent is a good community, but frankly speaking is not easy to find amongst the list of communities. If a new account immediately post in here, then it's three things.
With what happened this week, I'd go with what @alt-runner said and give the benefit of the doubt, but it's obvious its an OG.
The main thing that should be adress is how one make the post and present themselve to the community as well as Hive in general. If it is al alt account, as long as they follow the rule and not giving the bad name to the community, I don't really think it is a problem. But an alt account who is always doing the same (using AI), and then got caught again and again is just too bad.
They knew how do game the system, and unfortunately use #cent as the place for them to play the game.
solid point
This information will be useful to us. Thank you. I hope we find a permanent solution as soon as possible.
You're welcome
Damn, this is some serious situation at hand. Good to know. Thanks for sharing cause I noticed a little bit of that this week. Was confused what was going on. I thought some dude is pissed off with the community and just firing people down.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I hope we can solve the problem soon and continue on our way. Good luck.
Well, it's a bit easier for me though since I watch my favorite shows of the week and blog about it. These days I've gotten a bit slow in terms of blogging 😁. I'd try and put something together tomorrow.
Facts is it's not easy to come up with a blog, then proofread.
It is hard for sure, that is the challenge as well as the fun in doing it. as for my contest, I only ask for 150 words which will be easily achived, but if one is aiming for a bigger rewards, than a longer type of post is needed.
But doing it with your own words and your own style is what important, it will be funny if one make the account again and again once they get caught, and restarting from the scratch. They will lose time, and effort once they get caught.
as i always said, have fun is the main goal in making the post. : )

Keep up the good work. 👏🎵
