Sam (Skool CEO) asked me a good question
Last week I popped into HQ to make sure nobody was slacking off.
I arrived at 12:30 and caught Nick, Sid, Sam and Wiktor red handed sitting outside eating lunch.
Nick & Sid tried to play it cool by giving me a "wussup bro" hug πŸ«‚.
Wiktor gave me some fruit πŸ‡.
Sam gave me this cool hat 🧒 pictured below.
We all chatted for a minute before the team got back to work.
During the chat, Sam asked me: "How have the bots been lately in your free community?"
I said: "Great actually. No more issues."
Sam asked: "Why do you think that is?"
I said: "Because before we used to blindly accept everyone, but now we manually filter through everyone who joins. No profile pic, no entry. Non-human like answers to the 3 questions, no entry."
And it reminded me of how SIMPLE it can be to fix a massive pain in the butt problem.
We were battling bots in our free community comment section for awhile, and it ruined the vibe of our community.
But now that we've been optimizing for quality of community members over quantity of community members, we've created a pleasant bot free space.
We've also started deleting low quality/low value posts in our community and that's made our community a better place to be as well.
If you wanna see the 3 anti bot questions we ask all our new community members, I'll post them below in a pic πŸ‘‡
Before I left HQ I made 1 last request: Skool socks 🧦.
Would you want em? Vote below πŸ‘‡
Yes I want Skool socks! 🧦
No socks...
I'll take the hat AND socks!
