the saddest thing is, only @softgrip's going down in this situation

Truth is priceless these days =)

I don't know what you people expect, there are massive amounts of money at stake. You put people in a position to take it from the collective and they will do so, that's how capitalism works

Just report it to abuse channel linkdrop, if you think that it is trash sucking up precious bandwith (that's what it is IMO).

Even it the above turd posts are wrapped up with nice "Newslink" title and fancy tag to manipulate psyhologically into thinking that it is some kind of better quality content than usual copypasta feces.

TBH, I've thought about it now. These news posts by Zathras are only posted once a day and earn like 50-75 cent each. It is trash but I would let it go. There are the real, serious scammers out there who post trash posts between 25-75 times a day. I would focus on these.
They don't even add it in newslink tag (newslink tag was created for such post to filter them out and make clear they are news not original content).

Yes, this is quite a lot.

Nothing to see here. It's explicitly stated as "Newslink" and a link is clearly given to the source.

I asked if this type of behavior was acceptable in the steemitabuse channel - and told that it would be considered spam if I did it.

This is an automated bot pool - self voting each other up and just ripping content from an RSS feed.

Fubar is also know to spam outside of steemit
https://twitter.com/fubar_bdhr?lang=en
https://cryptocurrencytalk.com/profile/27519-fubar-bdhr/

and is involved in affiliate programs

And has an unhealthy obsession with Royal Tiffany.

Ironically, the exact behavior both inside and outside of steemit, that is frowned upon by society as a whole.

How on earth did this guy wedge himself at the front of an antispam committee, as a spammer, on a site that gives monetary rewards?

Unbelievable.

Voted down by fubar for exposing how corrupt he is. Great job mate. At least your bots didn’t join the fight.

He hates me for exposing him. :)

Exposing him was way more fun than the futility that was the failed appeals process.

As you can see now, the bot Army is seeking vengeance on my account.

The behavior of steemcleaners, if it was a regulated business, would be under investigation by authorities.
