As others have mentioned, this happens when community accounts are removed, and since you create a lot of high quality and popular content, it's more inclined to be receptive of likes and for those to be revoked.
We can look at simply removing these notifications, after all, what use is it to be notified that they've been removed when it's not necessarily something you have control over? Better to see that someone liked it rather than unliked it, making you wonder if it "wasn't that good after all" ? when that's not really the case.
We're partly at the mercy of Verint's platform as this is 'core' functionality as to what appears and how.
Though I've also asked the dev' team to look at whether or not this is a symptom of another problem, as this isn't the first time this has been brought up ( 615 Points Revoked Today. Why? )
Do we think removing these messages would be the best approach? Or alternatively should we remove receiving points for likes?
After checking, I too have some points revoked, pushing me back further from the next achievement level. The E14 community point system is to measure/encourage participation, correct ?
In my humble opinion, I'd be OK doing away with the 5 pointer noise. A person doesn't need points for posting help requests. I dont need 5 points for trying to help someone. It could be timely to simplify the point system.
I'd also significantly increase the points provided for applying to road tests, quizzes, projects, and challenges. These is where E14 (and sponsors) get marketing value.
wouldn't all posts see similar view count increases?
That's not what we observe, usually bot traffic targets a particular web page or pages.
We have experienced it in the past where when we have advertised a blog or content on Twitter/X, the page URL is picked up by a botnet and then gets hit hard. Part of why and how we can tell its bot traffic and not legitimate paid social media support is the 'profile' of the traffic with certain identifying markers (or lack thereof).
