Downvote Party 10/21 - Comment Spam Farm
With @sadkitten out of commission we have some one that thought the coast was clear!
The rules for participation are simple:
- Flag spam comments comments until they reach $0.00 payout. Only downvote comments that have a pending payout.
- Leave a link in a comment to steemd showing your account. (https://steemd.com/@spaminator)
- Don't up-vote this post, up-vote other participants!
While the list is long there is only one or two comments per account.
I've manually checked these accounts but I am human and do make mistakes. If you find an account that does not belong here notify @patrice on steemit.chat ASAP!

What I find weird and noteworthy is that these are all quite OLD "nonsensical" posts that have been repeatedly used by spambotnets over a period of many months. Year-old posts that have been used 30-40 time over many months, with lots of 2-word comments with 50-100+ micro upvotes.
We REALLY need something with the weight of @sadkitten to make a dent in this...
Edited to add: Upvoted fellow flaggers!
I made a couple and verified that all account beginning with z,w,v,u,t have been done.
Pick you letter beginning by s to make it easier for eveyone.
This is very good work @patrice. Just sad that gallant individuals like yourself have to waste their time and resources dealing with this rather than steemit inc just sorting it.
It is a pity there isn't an effective way to take out the 'kingpins' in the operation.
For example a quick partial scan shows a lot of the accounts funneling their rewards to @prethardfico and @campbofresum.
@campbofresum in turn is funneling to @opsmalyzsu which seems to be one of the central points.
Unfortunately stamping these central accounts in to the ground want stop the whole operation. Unless steemit inc gets its act together and deals with them.
Thanks! I hadn't had time to dig into where the funds where going.
If you need any help poking about into these accounts let me know.
Is there any mechanism for reporting the central accounts to steemit inc? Will they do anything about them?

Flag @agab for "photo plagiarism and possible identity deception.
Why wasn't this included in the party?

This is an experimental community. Decentralized. We don't get centralized "protection" along with our decentralized protection. It's up to us to decide the standards. If steemit could shut down the spam accounts they could also shut yours down if some fiat govt didn't like you. The price we pay for freedom, is self governance.
Worth it.
Maybe - but if we then have to spend all our voting power on self-policing we would have nothing left to reward particularly smaller players who are getting discouraged with almost non existent post rewards.
I would rather spend my voting power helping as much as I can to improve player retention.

I started on @postlinlony and @giereimyga but didn't get them all the way down to zero. Will need someone to come in behind.
Added some more. Flagged the following as much as I could, some still have some value.
