RE: [Content Cop] How To Protect Yourself Against SteemitDefenceLeague
Well you replied to me on your other post. I use Dustsweeper, I just hope these trolls don't keep Dusty from upvoting my posts. I also followed the bots that counter act the down votes. I realize their SP is too weak to effect my earnings and rep, but its annoying getting a crap ton of down votes. Is it possible for the Steemit staff to IP ban the user, assuming they aren't running these accounts on different devices or using a VPN.
No they don't prevent @dustsweeper from working, in fact on comments that wouldn't have otherwise paid anything out, you can end up earning a few cents. They'll flag, the bots will upvote and dustsweeper will come in before payout and upvote too. I don't know if @dustsweeper is triggered just by flags, but in the days before these bots I'd just upvote the comments myself.
I'm working on having the SP removed from all of the accounts I've identified, 64 so far and growing. Steemit won't IP ban anyone, as they still want users to see the errors or their ways and still interact with the blockchain. I sincerely doubt they are smart enough to think about switching up devices or covering their tracks in any way.
It is very annoying, even if they aren't hitting you financially. Unfortunately I guess this comes with the free and open nature of Steemit, people are free to act like immature c*nts.
Dusty hasn't upvoted me lately which led me to think something. Also the troll accounts continue to target me, but the bots you mentions counter voted. These trolls makes this place like Reddit.
