The irony of @abusereports : a system designed to fight abuse, run by the biggest abuser on steem

in #steem6 years ago

For those that don't know, @abusereports is an automated "abuse reporting" bot directly managed by @berniesanders @nextgencrypto. This account is hiding under the facade that it is reporting abuse, while simultaneously abusing it's steem power to the fullest extent.

@berniesanders thinks he is "returning funds to the reward pool" when in reality it is very clear he is cherry picking steemians he does not like to steal from and is ultimately driving them away from steem, from investing.

Not to mention, @abusereports receives automated 100% votes from 70+ accounts owned by @berniesanders. And he doesn't report his own abuse! Talk about reward pool rape!

It is truly baffling the level of hypocrisy committed by this account.. any account @berniesanders decides to blacklist will be spammed to the fullest extent. Check this very thread!

@studgriffin is on the @abusereports blacklist for being a bad Steemian! Bad spammer, bad!

Any comments made by those blacklisted are met with the instant spam as well.

I have never spammed anyone or anything, yet I am being spammed, being called a spammer. 😂

There is no justification for any flagging done by this account, nor can anyone enforce bernie to try to justify his flags, hence this is a problem for steem as a whole. If one fragile minded troll can ruin steem for hundreds of people, met by no repercussions, what effect will this have on steem in the long term?

If this is our best attempt at self governance we have failed. This is fascism, on the blockchain level!

User retention for steem is embarrassingly low, and people like @berniesanders are undoubtedly a contributing factor to this.

How many of nextgencrypto's witness votes are even real people?

How many innocent people has abusereports flagged?

What are ways in which steem can be changed to prevent massive system-wide abuse like this?

I would love to hear your answers in the comments.

You should report him to steemcleaners. They have a section for comment spam abuse.

I totally agree on your take. I tried to report a meme spammer to abuse reports, before i knew who ran it. Instead of flagging the spammer, it instead flagged all of my posts and comments.

Where is the section for reporting abuse? On Steemit-chat?

I think you can report once per day. You will also get a small payment from their rewards.

I've heard that name quite a bit on here... I don't know about that... But the screenshot you attached, shows that something is definitely not right... Come on... Look at those figures!

Well, today I can announce that I am the proud recipient of 18 downvotes... all in the same hour! Lost all my rewards and by this same asswipe obviously. I am fortunate though, I don't have to stick around and fight them, I can simply leave and power down... if that is their intention. Then I can blog about it until I die! Sorry to see this happen to so many good Steemians and to a great concept platform. Steemit will need to figure this one out!

"Fragile minded troll"... Iove it! Stystemic Rape would be an accurate description of what is occuring. Personally, I feel anyone who must hide behind another man's name (Bernie Sanders) is an inherently deceptive individual to begin with.

By the way, do you have a list of his multiple accounts?

haha right here buddy!

most of them are powered down or used to autoflag haejin, but he has like 80 accounts..

to name a few more!

Ha, "thebotkiller" and "rewardpoolrape." Now that is some irony! Hey, why don't you join us on Stishit. No bullies, no flagging wars, no spats... just rewards! It's the UI that Steemit never had. Still in beta so check it out (100 free STISH crypto to the next couple hundred new members).
