Last month, I already shared about my journey here in Bitlanders on my previous blog, Tips for Newbies on bitLanders, where I wrote about some Tips for Newbies after joining in this site. As you can see on the image, It's been more than a year now since I joined this earning site and I'm glad that, it's still running and paying their members continuously.
I just hope that this site will still run for more years from now. That's why members should not do things that could possibly weaken this site like cheating and spamming.
It should be Give and take. We should not abuse this site because we are earning from it and they also need us. I realized something why there's a sudden change on earnings sometimes. Maybe because they want to control it due to many spammers and abusers invading the site already. Which is a good step for a site to avoid an issue like what happened to other sites that were abused. It's just really unfair for those who are working hard here because they were also affected. So let's make this a spam free site.
Spammers and Bots Invading the Site
Before Bitlanders implemented the rules against spamming in comments and English only rule in Public Global Chat, spammers and cheaters were free to make buzz deals in the Global chat and kept on asking for Buzz and sub. They started to grow last November and their number increases everyday. It's also obvious that they were making dummy/fake accounts just to get additional +3 daily bonus in their buzz scores and some of them were using bots or cheats like auto buzz and auto post. Anyone will be annoyed seeing same words/comments in every post, isn't it? Those were done by the spammers. It's really hard to get rid of them.
Effects of Spamming to the users and visitors
Bitanders has been a part of my daily routine for more than a year already. Some of my friends tried to join but eventually they stopped because they need to focus on their work and studies. I kept on sharing this platform in different social media sites and some FB friends started to ask about it. Some of them joined but stopped because they thought that we are earning through buzz deals and aside from that, they have jobs so they said, they don't have enough time to exchange buzz and they won't be able to earn more if that's the strategy on earning from this site.
We won't have more members engaged to this site if this is what they see upon joining here.
Some visitors of this site were disappointed after looking at the comments of a content we had shared in other social media sites. This is the reaction of one of the newbie last month before implementing the rules against spamming. 
Ballz The Spam Killer
Ballz is the one who prevents a member from spamming. He started to appear to some members before to warn them saying, "I'm Watching Yo! Your comment has not been accepted. Please Refrain from Spamming and posting unrelated comments." He usually appears every time you use same words consecutively. We're worried every time he appears in our own screen because according to them, they will deduct it to our scores.
2016 is year of the Monkey. Will Ballz return here this 2016? Is it the right time for him to come back?
One time, Ballz appeared on my screen 3 times in a day, even if I didn't post same words which has also experienced by other members, that was last summer. Maybe it's only an error that time. I thought they were already strict in posting so I wrote a blog for him to cool down and I'll take him to the beach to chill. Later on, he's already missing until now. I think it's better to bring back Ballz. He really needs to return here to refrain the members from spamming again.
Reach the TOP with out spamming
Some of us might be lazy to check the FAQ sometimes but the answers were there. We just need to do our part if we really want to know more about this site. Again, make reading a habit. Then try to follow their Beginner's Guide. Spamming is not the key to increase your scores and revenues. Avoid spamming or else you'll get banned.
Understand Buzz Score
We should understand where our Buzz Scores came from before thinking on how to increase it. Buzz Scores determines how much rewards we earned here. It is Competitive, it changes everyday depending on your daily activity. It has two components, the Base Buzz and the Bonus Buzz(direct Powerups).
(Note: This is my own version based on how I understand Bitlanders Buzz Score and its FAQs.)
