RE: I run @sadkitten so you don't have to - dealing with massive amounts of spam

in #spam7 years ago

This is an approach I can get behind, focusing on spam instead of self votes. I'm still not a fan of flagging, but I think it's the lesser of two evils for now. I just delegated 100 SP to @sadkitten.

Thanks a lot for your vote of confidence. I think it should become a common good practice for every steemian to delegate a small % of their SP toward abuse countering efforts. Like paying a taxe to reduce crime rate.

I agree @transisto, but why are you using your sock puppet account @newsflash to downvote my posts CONSTANTLY on a daily basis?? What is the purpose of this?? It's flawed logic!

Thanks @remlaps. I will get back to your comment on self votes I promise 😉 I'm still doing that too, and I see this in the same general area of activism on Steemit. But you don't have to agree with everything 😜

Thanks so much for the delegation, as @transisto said this means a lot.

Another possible avenue to explore, if you haven't already looked into it: I notice that a number of these accounts (i) are new; (ii) have their recovery account set to @steem; and (iii) are basically unfunded except for some delegated SP.

I haven't tracked back the source of the delegations, but I assume they're conducting their abuse with SP that's delegated by Steemit, Inc. at account creation time. Is there a process to report abusive accounts so that Steemit, Inc. can revoke the initial steempower delegation? If not, can one be established?

We've already reported many account to Steemit Inc. and they did take off their delegation in a timely manner.
