🙝 Spaminator Artwork by @atopy
I am a noob around these part. Can someone give me a quick ELI5 what is this about? I guess its something to do with upvoting bots or something, but the whole thing is still a bit murky to me.
These accounts fall into one or more of the following categories:
A network of 11k+ accounts using bots to post and upvote. Some of them using delegated steem power from the account creation.
Accounts using bots to post every 5 minutes more than 8 hours a day. When I started flagging them they made up 20% of the number of posts daily.
Comment Farms - These are users that comment on old posts and self-vote or have a voting trail. They are essentially hiding what they are doing to avoid being flagged by someone if they don't agree with what they are doing.
High volume copy & paste comment bots that do not provide a service to the community.
Scam bots - Bots that advertise a service or state they are performing a service (upvote or resteem)but fail to do so. There are a few scams right now for vote-bots promising large upvotes in exchange for SBD.
Okay. This is a serious problem, but also kind of expected when you have value associated with comments and upvotes.
Many happy returns xD
how can we help you out?
