Liking your own resources

[wizard-chan]

Found some people liking their own resources today, this isn't the only resource like it. Might be something unmoderated during the transferal process.

If you can't see the images, or want some context. It's fairly simple, boosting reactions through liking your own stuff. I think it's fairly obvious why this should be changed.

Is it really worth the effort to make such a minor change though? Its not like its an unfair advantage because its simple for all the other resource owners to do the same. Yeah it likely shouldn't be there, but just doesn't seem worth the hassle.

It's not that simple. You have to do it in the transferral process (when you switch ownership). That's why I'm suggesting that it should be moderated by a resource moderator when they're transferring it. It's not that hard to do.

Keep moderating that resource in case the new author likes it?

I don't think you get how this is being done, this is done when somebody likes a resource. Then *somehow* gets ownership and it's manually transferred to someone else. I'm saying this should be moderated during the manual transfer of the resource.
This cannot be done after it has been transferred.

Likes don't really matter, if they were to rate their resource 5 stars however would be a different issue.

That can be done also.

There's really no point in doing that, you technically don't even "boost" because at the time someone liked the resource it wasn't theirs.

As far as I can tell, we have no current way of removing likes from a resource, nor can I find a permission node for it. We only have the ability to remove all likes a member has given in the past X amount of hours/days, which isn't useful as we have no clue when said member liked the resource, we could be removing hundred of legitimate likes in the process, and I'm unsure if this option even includes resource likes.

I'd assume this requires custom development to implement, for something that hasn't been abused to my knowledge. If you're aware of someone actively abusing this, I'd be best to report them and we can either request they remove the likes or have them reupload the resource.

If that's the case it's not worth doing, ignore me.

How can someone "actively" abuse this? It's not even abuse, you're literally not the owner of the resource when you liked it, why do your reactions to the resource matter after it was transferred to you because you e.g bought rights to it?

I can think of a few scenarios where this could be abused, the most prominent being uploading your resource on a business account and then having it transferred over to your personal account after liking it. It could certainly be abused, even though likes have minimal impact on your resource standing so that's why we do want to be looking out for this.

Indeed, thank you for looking into that.

I'll move this to to denied, thanks for the suggestion
