Do bloggers really provide original feedback? How do I know it's not copy-pasted?

There's some fancy code in place to make sure that the same feedback isn't provided repeatedly. Copy-pasting is thoroughly frowned upon, and if you think someone is somehow doing that, please let us know.

To get more specific, we have four safe-guards against copy-pasted feedback:

  1. Our code literally prevents copy-pasting in the field where they type their feedback;
  2. Every time they write feedback, we run a script that checks for exact copy-paste;
  3. We also use a script that employs the Levenshtein formula to compare feedback for similarity -- if there's an overlap above a certain threshold, it triggers an email to the SubmitHub staff, and we work with that blogger to help them craft better feedback;
  4. We do regular manual reviews of each blog to make sure their feedback is genuine.
