Well, the truth here is that millions and I do mean millions of spam transactions have been toned down considerably due to the fork.

Not to mention the SDL downvote bot nets are effectively done for. We have observed a rise of bid bot abuse, however, which is troubling.

Take the blog, @askquestion, for example. This is the kind of stuff that is a eyesore to the platform and I hope we all together will be able to devise a more effectual way to deal with it.

Lately, I have been optimistic with folks like you and other showing support to moderation. I think we work to that end and we will see more folks willing to contribute in meaningful ways and not become disheartened when they see how much more effective it is to manipulate the system to be rewarded.

One of the most pervasive problems is the bid bots that upvote without discretion. No blacklists or reporting mechanism such as seems the case for @emperorofnaps. They continue to grow as it is financially advantagepus in the short term for them to be apathetic. I think it would behoove us all to come up with a solution to put these kinds out of business.

I commend the responsible bot owners out there that are willing to forego profit for the bigger picture. Anyways, I hope I am able to get things going with @steemflagrewards and maybe, just maybe, you can give us a plug in one of your posts so as to help get the word out.

HF 20 was progress in the fight against spam and other activities that compromise the legitimacy of our chain but we have a way to go I think.
