It's awesome to see this make progress and improve in accuracy ...
It still leaves me with some worries when I check the current Top-Spammers according to the sincerity API:
While some of these accounts are in fact leaving very repetitive comments that may well be seen as spam... they are certainly lacking the volume to be in the ranks of "top-spammers".
At least that's my subjective interpretation of how to define spam... quantity does play a major role here.
Taking into account that there are accounts like @a-0-0 leaving 27k comments in the same timeframe, I think something should be done on that aspect.
OR, if the API purely want's to classify, it maybe just shouldn't publish a "ranking"?!
It's a fair point. I will also add a list of accounts sorted by the most comments made.
I guess that because accounts like this which already have a negative rep, probably aren't interfering with most people's experiences anymore, so aren't being reported as spammers by the community. This software is increasingly using a community average of spammer as its classification definition.
Great!
I think that's exactly what we need and I am stoked to see this increasing in "accuracy" of reflecting that.
The classification score for those "top-ranked" spammers does not feel inaccurate to me to be honest, but calling those the top-spammers is taking the result a bit out of context imho.
