2. Abuse-Watcher is Back

@abuse-watcher, who was previously active about a year ago, is now back with considerably more downvoting power.

They have the ability to downvote $2,000 per day, and will be on the lookout for plagiarists, spammers, reward farmers and other abusers.

@abuse-watcher will be operating from the Steem Watcher Community run by @rex-sumon and @rme.

In a comment @rme states...

abuse-watcher will only downvote the posts involved in plagiarism, copyright infringement, identity theft, fraudulent activities etc. But, before that we must warn the abuser several times.

We skip steemit investor's micro posts...

• To all abusers on Steemit, be alert, we're coming...

---

@rme has also expressed concern that "there are many communities that are involved in spamming, farming and other types of abuse activities".

These communities are a threat to the entire Steemit platform. Their aim is nothing but looting the reward pool...
