Lately, I have seen a lot of models posting on our instance, and I’m not against it, but I noticed that some of them post the same photo in many communities, resulting in feed subscribed or local with the same photo every page or multiple page.
I want to see these kind of photos/models, thats why I don’t block them, otherwise are fine to post what ever they want.
Is it only me who see it as spam? and should we limit these models ?
I’m not sure what you’re asking and I don’t know why I would reach out to what basically amounts to a bot.
Every model is “19” with the same genericly structured backstory. They post 4-6 pictures, across several communities (usually barely applicable to the community) with OF trials links that have very recognizable and poorly translated titles. When one model stops their spam, the next in line starts about a minute or two later. They always start with every one of their clients on the first day and then usually only do about two or three every following day for about a week. They’ve been following this pattern for months.
I was wondering what the models might think about their images being used as spam but I suppose they might not give a fuck.
They might not give a fuck, but we as the community give a fuck cause we browser this community every day.
I have noticed this too!
Sounds like we need to have a verification system for OC.
Given the assumption that this is someone working with the models and not a bad actor of some sort, verification wouldn’t stop this type of spam unfortunately.
What if part of the verification process was an agreement not post post any piece of OC more than once to the instance? That way if the mods and admins had to progress to blanket bans it could be seen that they’d tried to cooperate and the agencies would then be seen to be bad value for money to the models.
It’s not necessarily a nefarious actor. There are many social media management agencies that provide services like these out there. It’s very likely the models pay the agency to do this.
