How To Defeat Vote Bots

This is a short demonstration of a program I'm developing tentatively entitled TubeGuardian. The purpose of the program is three-fold:

1. collect statistical data on youtube video
2. analyze/display data
3. determine when a vote bot attack is occurring, and react

Each of the functions the program does has settings that allow the user to determine what the program does, and how often it does it.

Thanks ProfMTH for having a kick-ass channel with a decent amount of traffic! And, thanks League Of Reason for your existence and support!

Please me if you'd like a copy of the program OM me, and feel free to offer suggestions.

I will consider that, thanks. =P

It looks like you are using VB, if so can we hear the version, and possibly view the source code?

[joshTheGoods]

The application is written in C#. I address the issue of open source in my blog post on the League of Reason.

Thanks for the comment!

am being vote attacked by right wing Zionists. they instantly mark down ALL my videos as an aggressive atempt to deny me viewers.

i want a copy but how do i know u didnt use votebot on thus vid and its not a scam?

[hardstyle905]

fake

[MWcrazyhorse]

what happens if a vote bot just drops2 or 3 star ratings? typically people rate videos either 5 stars, 1 star or not at all. wouldn't setting the programm to detect an average rating of below say 4,5 stars be best?

Good idea. I would be happy to give an OSX port a go, although my C is very rusty.

Awesome work! 5*

Perhaps you care but

from the other side of the fence maybe?

Who logical even cares about ratings, subs, honors, etc?It's youtube. I certainly don't care lmao.

[luc59457]

Who cares about votebotting lol, it's youtube. Simply fucking garbage hahahaha. don't cry

Well seems such a simple solution to this on going problem that Youtube has refused to address, i would not release the source code as those using VB would like to see it, i still do not see this as a final solution which i will not explian, the only solution is within YT, giving us options of not accepting anonymous ratings, or having different grade users 1-5, and us picking which level can comment,rate,report etc on our vids.
