The amount of spam in the comment section of new submissions is starting to demoralize our community. If you love Steemit and want it to thrive, we need to make a concentrated effort as a group to flag the worst spam offenders. If you are reading a submission that you like or are leaving a comment, take an extra few seconds to flag the spam bots.
This will discourage people from creating scripts when they realize it's not profitable, and new users will be able to more clearly identify real community members who are leaving comments on their blog postings. This will have a positive effect by hiding spam and genuine comments will be more visible. Now, if only we could do something with those upvote bots.
#bots auto flagging you? Well voting power is calculated by SteemPower / votes per day and flags count as votes, SteemPower is non transferable. This means if you comment every 20 seconds which is perfectly within steemit rules all that steempower evil whales put on those attack bots is quickly becoming worthless, I know the same bots are flagging all of us minnows so if you are being auto flagged pick a thread and reply every 20 seconds for a few days use your own thread if you dont want to spam anyone. I picked @neoxian and @pfunk to spam because they were frivolously flagging me even before the bots, you could even automate your account to do it. bots fighting bots! If we all fight back against the evil auto flag bots not only will we win but our SteemPower will have effectively more power than before. I love Steemit. I hate whomever sicked their downvote bots on me.
I hundred percent agree!
