RE: Can we start banning and completely removing known scamming accounts? I am being threatened by downvotes for exposing a scammer.

in #steemit8 years ago

We don't need to. I think a free market without centralized control is good. In the long term plagiarists etc. will only loose, because they will be automatically downvoted.

Sort:  

Actually we need too , because this scammer has multiple accounts and has started downvoting my posts. If his accounts can actually affect my score rating it doesnt make sens.

According to @dan:

Those with weaker reputations are unable to harm the reputation of those with strong reputation.

So you don't need to worry!

Don't worry, all accounts the scammer has will be connected to him if he keeps downvoting your posts, and more people will know about his accounts. So in the long run he will lose more and not affect your own rating cause weak reputation accounts can't affect positive ones.

👍👍👍

He's leaving Steem. People who have little to loose also have little power. His downvotes won't matter too much. If it becomes a problem, you could ask for help from someone powerful in the chat.

In which chat exactly? I am pretty sure it will affect the rating even if its close to nothing It wouldn't make sens that I end up losing rep over me exposing a scammer.
