When I (@dlmmqb) joined Hive, I found Hive less relatable to my taste cause of the cultural difference. Although I soon started enjoying multicultural blogs.
I found how much higher the abuse rate is in this region. It was even harder for me to count on newcomers because of the high abuse rate. One person was handling 1500 accounts and another was running a botnet while additional were just collecting girls' pictures from private girl groups and farming introduction post rewards. Everything was a complete mess.
I slowly scrubbed it from ground level and still to this date never tolerate this. Why was it like this? Were good and ethical Pakistanis were given any special attention (guidance, queries, etc)? We all know there are always good people too. With all the other voices, It was harder to focus on real Pakistani users. Till now was just me recalling all the history in my brain (shhh, or a private database).
Entrance of A New Member!
I do work on different projects on Hive other than Hivepakistan either as a volunteer or a member cause of Love for Hive. I found @spiritsurge one day. I already had bad experiences with anyone taking control of the direction of the Project (people coming from other chains), but still, with work experience in other projects I can say, I trust spiritsurge with sharing some of my responsibilities and visions. He also will be injecting his own flavor in HivePakistan for the usefulness of Pakistanis. This starts a new Era of technological advancement for HivePakistan. He also is the CEO of @surgentgaming and running @astralrevelation.
Achievement:
Other than all the mentoring and advisory efforts, Spiritsurge (A foreign Pakistani) made a monitoring bot (On my request) for Hivepakistan within 9 hours which was very impressive at least for me. He also sponsored everything related to it.
How this bot works?
From a technical point of view, we can add/remove Pakistani hivers from database. Once they are added, the bot automatically drops posts from those users whenever the publish regardless whether of the front-end.
Earning Credibility:
This gives us a whitelist of Pakistani users. I have experience in antiabuse and I will maintain it to the best of my knowledge and abilities.
I will also slowly public (my private database) our blacklist with reasoning after whitelisting work is completed or slowed down.
What it means for Others:
If you are a Pakistani, you can support or find other Pakistanis much easier.
If you are a curation project, you can support Pakistani users much easier.
Future Plans:
The project is a bit mature now and I can say we are working on other features in the pipeline. Our main focused areas are curation, onboarding efforts, and guiding users.
With Spiritsurge backing most of the tech work, I can take this project to new heights.
A Thankyou Note!
I would like to pay my gratitude to
@snook, our first hope in the darkest hours.
All IndiaUnited, Hivelearners, and TheTerminal team for supporting us.
@cwow2, @khan.dayyanz, @hivetrending, and others for your generous support.
A Special Thanks to @ayesha-malik and @amberkashif for working behind the scenes on this project.
Thank you Chotay Bhai for the amazing intro!! Your work in Anti-abuse is always something I have appreciated from afar. I know on a personal level that this has affected you in your personal life and still you have continued to do it.
That boasts courage and represents the spirit of Pakistan... @dlmmqb
Could not just sit back and watch...
I didn't know you even cared about my antiabuse work. Most people think it's just bullying. They don't realize they enjoy a clean hive cause people are using all their skills to clean it.
A bird might have whispered cause I don't talk about that part of life. These things spread like fire in the jungle. ;)
Finally, welcome to the family! Too much work to do. :)
Thank you for trying to organize the demographics in your region.
We hope we can contribute to hive ecosystem in positive ways.
When I came to hive, I wished for a community for Pakistanis on Hive. Then I find @dlmmqb already working on the project.
The efforts deserves to be applauded. Though slowly but the project is moving in the right direction
Kudos
Great work!! It's hard to know who to trust nowadays because there is so much abuse going on. Keep up the good work
Thank you for your appreciation. We hope to gain more trust from hive community as we proceed further in this project. Long journey ahead!
Any effort to unite Hiveans and battle abuse of the chain is welcome. GOOD LUCK to your endeavors with this new bot!
Thank you for your appreciation. Also, thanks for mentoring Pakistanis in Terminal.
Finally 😍 unfolding of this struggle happened ✌️ to fight against the abusers was crucial as it was suppressing others work too .... The founder and the person behind this idea faced difficulties and we acknowledge your work dudes. !LUV more powers of Hive Pakistan, 💚

We have a bunch of hardworking, dedicated hivers from the Pakistan community. Looks like a positive addition of @spiritsurge will take it to new heights. Wish you all the best in that regard. Let me know if I can help in any way, shape or form.

Try engaging with pakistani posts dropped by bot. The bot is for people to use and increase their social circle.
This is great work for the community. Keep it up!!
thank you!
Wow...this is indeed a big project. All thanks to those that contributed to the stage the project is at the moment.
You have been doing a great job with the anti-abuse in hive. This content opened my eyes more to how hivers abuse the system
🤭🤭, Can you just imagine? I didn't know it was up to this gravity. All the same, good job for all you do in your capacity to keep the system healthy.
I am optimistic that this new project will be great in the long run.
Hivepakistans are waxing stronger and that's a good one!

Once we get used to it, it's same trick in the book by abusers. They can try forever and we will catch them forever.
Eliminating “abuse” is not possible and shouldn’t be the goal. Even those who are attempting to “abuse” the system are still doing work. Any compensation they get for their successful attempts at abuse or collusion is at least as valuable for the purpose of distributing the currency as the make-work system employed by traditional Bitcoin mining or the collusive mining done via mining pools. All that is necessary is to ensure that abuse isn’t so rampant that it undermines the incentive to do real work in support of the community and its currency. The goal of building a community currency is to get more “crabs in the bucket.” Going to extreme measures to eliminate all abuse is like attempting to put a lid on the bucket to prevent a few crabs from escaping and comes at the expense of making it harder to add new crabs to the bucket. It is sufficient to make the walls slippery and give the other crabs sufficient power to prevent others from escaping.We hope you find reading it interesting! It's quoted from our former chain's whitepaper and we also follow this ideology to some degree. Our job is to make the walls slippery and put a lid on.
Wow...this is a great job obviously
Good job here👍✅✅
Thanks for fighting for the right thing
Thanks for supporting us!
I am very proud to know you @dlmmqb, you always have noble intentions and a community spirit in each interaction I have with you 💚
We all learn and get inspired by each other. You r all real hero to me too. Your daughter is immortal in the hive blockchain and this helps many sons and daughters to love their moms. True you are a MOM of Hive!
Whenever I interact with you, I love my mom a little more each time.
Who wears the hero cap? It's actually YOU! :)
Sounds like a well thought of action, glad to see this and will be interested to see where it is going to lead
and with your experiences with anti abuse and more then anything this will help Pakistani hive users greatly
so i feel this project will be in good hands and will be interesting to see how it develops and how the future of other users coming in will be effected in the long run
Your project and bot sounds great. Congratulations and thanks for all you do to keep Hive abuse free.
Fighting abusers while supporting true and honest users... sounds great! :)
And with the collaboration and help of @spiritsurge the project can only grow stronger!
Good luck and stay strong!

I'm impressed with the progress of HivePakistan and the dedication you have put into this project, @dlmmqb. It's inspiring to see how much you have overcome the challenges and turned the project around to create a positive impact for the Pakistani community on Hive.
The creation of a monitoring bot is a brilliant move that will definitely help increase the credibility of the Pakistani users and make it easier for other users to find and support them. I also appreciate the thought you have put into maintaining anti-abuse measures and your plans to slowly publicize your blacklist with reasoning.
I'm excited to see the future plans you have for HivePakistan, especially your focus on curation, onboarding, and guiding users. best Wishes for you and @spiritsurge for your efforts in making HivePakistan a thriving community.
I look forward to following the project and seeing the great things that are to come

people in my social circle were never collecting pictures from any groups. 😂 i never heard of any such things before.
Ethereum Vitalik Butterin proposes a stealth system to enhance blockchain privacy. I do not get the idea of verification by sharing personal info in public. at least you can develop a bot where users can verify their personal details in private as cex do. some would not be comfortable sharing their personal details in public. what do you say about it? do you verify if some users want to whitelist by sharing whatever details you require in dm. @hivepakistan @spiritsurge
