RE: [DELEGATION GIVEAWAY] Are There Still Motivated Newcomers To Support?
Hey there @simplymike, I think @krazzytrukker got hit with one of the random "camillesteemer" that still get scattered everywhere... 2% of 70SP, usually with 3% Mana left. Meaningless, but annoying and confusing to a newcomer. May also have gotten some "Bernie Spam" as a sideline to having interacted with @lyndsaybowes on cat related posts.
I had actually never heard of the so called SteemIt Defense League up until a couple of hours ago. I hd been investigating a series of flags that were given out, apparently randomly on posts and comments of newcomers as well as 'veterans', by 10 accounts. These accounts had a lot of similarities, so they had to belong to 1 person, or work together.
Annoying, bust also dangerous, because the biggest account has a 20 000SP delegation from Blocktrades.
So I had spent two or three hours collecting as much information as I could and putting it in a Word document. I thought about making a post, but thought it was too risky.
I didn't know where else to go than Steemcleaners, but apparently they don't deal with flag abuse. So they sent me to (looking it up) Freezepeach. Once I got there, they already knew about some of the accounts, so I gave them my info. It didn't take long before someone dropped the name SteemIt Defense League. Since I had never heard about it before, I did a quick search and found out about camillesteemer.
I visited Steemworld and was shocked to see how many downvotes were still being given by that account. And to so many people I know...
I did a quick comparison, but I think the group of downvoters I was investigating has nothing to do with camillesteemer. Their voting behaviour is completely different.
But so I got to 'meet' camillesteemer. We should all feel very lucky that the account only has 70SP left.
The other group is a different story. I din't remember exactly, but the 10 accounts tovether have about 35 000 SP. They can cause serious damage. And how low can you go if you start targeting innocent newcomers' introduction posts? There are so few that stick around, what's the point in chasing them away?
I'll probably wfite a post about it tomorrow.the people over at (looking it up again) Freezepeach have promised me they can counter the downvotes I'll probably get.
Idk how it was with camillesteemer, ut these guys have all bought a delegation from Blocktrades, and apparently they are looking the other way....
I don't get why people would intentionally try to destry others. Last week, I got a downvote from hashpanda, and although his reason for doing so was a little short-sided, he a
Could ag least give me a reason. One of which I can imagine it makes sense to a rebellious teenager.
But the random flagging... I wasn't even aware so mant posts and comments were being flagged every day again...I'm still a little shocked. Or I have bden lucky, or just simply so ignorant that I didn't notice. I thought it was just the whales like BS and H and FTG who were flagging just to flag. But the problem is a whole lot bigger than that.
And the fact that it seems to be random makes me furious. And that Blocktrades refuses to do anything even more...
Tomorrow, I'm going to try to find out is this camillestemer has something to do with this 'new' group(they've been acting like this for like 2 or 3 months now, so they are not completely 'new). If only I knew how and where I could find any info on a possible connection....
BOOM....! You nailed it. And you are right, confusing like WTF. It is a cat in a christmas tree and this Creepy Legion Wanna Bee or Grinch that stole Steemit gives Lil Hallie Blue the Stink Finger...(photo)
Glad to hear it was meaningless. Learning on the fly here.
Truck should be back from shop 2 maro. So I will be a very busy KrazzyTrukker trying to get back on budget for the next few months. I have already scheduled a run to Wichita KS. For monday delivery. I Hope I can still find time for this Steemit stuff!!
Thanks @denmarkguy
