spam comments.jpg

Hello Steemit Friends,

as you probably noticed, in the last days you might have seen some spam comments downvoted and labeled with this banner:

BE AWARE...	No SPAM!
	This COMMENT has been DOWNVOTED by @miti for its content. I'm not a BOT and my aim is to clear posts by trolls and spammers. *Want to support me?* Upvote this comment, delegate SP to me or make a donation. I need the maximum SP possible to clean as many posts as possible. Thanks!

If you do want to report a spammer or troll, reply to his comment with "@miti downvote"
For more info contact me in steemit chat

This here's all part of my new plan to combat the scourge of spammers and trolls who comment the majority of trending and hot posts in Steemit.

Did you happen to read something interesting and loose lot of time to skip spam comments? Happens to me all the time, I guess you do too!

I'm a great believer in steemit growth, so i think have to do something to free our community from peolple aren't interested in steemit community but only to harassing and take advantage of such attitude.

I'll just give you a very quick overview of what's going on inside the downvote project i've studied.

Every time I read comment like "Vote for vote"... "please vote me"... "nice my friend pliss vote and follow me"... and so on...... i will downvote it and i will comment it with my banner.
You must be wondering why not only downvote? Because a downvote is not as evident as a banner and might not be enough to discourage spammers and trolls. I will also take a look in spammer user page to make sure he done repeatedly spam before to downvote his comment.

Every week I will write a post with all the flagged comments and some of my earlier points.

I'm not acting like a cop, i'm not trying to discourage new users... because this kind of users are not interested in netiquette, rules and respect to steemit community. This people are only interested in fast earn at any cost.

I'm acting by myself because i don't use bot (i hate them).. they're too stupid to do a critical job like this..

If you do want to report a spammers or troll, you could reply to his comment with "@miti downvote" and I'll take a look to comment and user to decide if he's worth a downvote.

I'm getting to power up with my own funds because i need more Steem Power to clean as many posts as possible. I am determined to improve this project, i've a lot of related idea to develop so I hope to be able to count on your support:

UPVOTE my banner, DELEGATE some SP or MAKE a donation. I will really appreciate it.

ALL ADVICE WELCOME.. By working together, we can better ourselves!!!

Hi there thank you for doing this. I recently just joined Steemit a few days ago and have spent a considerable amount of time reading and researching. However, I have come across quite a fair bit of low quality content and was wondering how I would not spend so much time sifting through it all to get to the good stuff. I really like the idea of this platform and community. Because of people like you and @vimukthi it can continue to stay that way. Like @vimukthi said if we all can just flag one spammer a week it would already make a big difference. Upvoted!

I'm so glad that I'm not alone in this fight. I've expressed my opinions in 3 seperate occasions: https://steemit.com/steemit/@vimukthi/a-very-personal-favor-i-have-to-ask-from-my-fellow-steemians-please-read-and-resteem
https://steemit.com/steemit/@vimukthi/serial-spaming-your-way-into-a-reputation-of-56-how-did-this-happen
https://steemit.com/steemit/@vimukthi/spam-report-from-a-productive-minnow-on-steemit-please-read-it-s-a-very-short-post

It would be great if you can take your time to read them. I've dropped few links to spammer accounts on the posts too. I have wanted to get some whale support as flagging with my account has had almost no effect. I still continue with my flagging.

Their attitudes are sick and appalling. Just check the posts of this guy: https://steemit.com/@fahimgazi

I only have a tiny account. My voting power has constantly been below 10% due to me going around flagging spammers which in some cases had above 50 reputation.

There isn't much I can do. For the time being flag the spammers linked in those posts as I don't want to overwhelm you. I'll send whatever SBD left in my account and keep finding spammers for you.

Hats off to your hard work and the good fight. I'll try to get you some more exposure with my followers.

Couldn't believe it when I saw this post!!

First of all because i found a person who have the same thought about steemit comunity integrity. And second because He gave all his SBD to help me in this fight against spammers.

These signs are very important, because sometimes you think you are alone in some battle and then you find a new friend that helps you with everything he's got!

Thanks @vimukthi!

I barely had any SBD left in my account. I was more glad to see someone doing what I had wanted to see in the first place and I was trying to find someone with high Voting power to make an impact.

Then I found you flagging a comment at:https://steemit.com/life/@joseph/charles-manson-dies-at-age-83 and I was so happy to see you as it was exactly what I was looking for.

I have seen this banner pop up in a few places already, and I fully endorse your project. The fact that you got spam comments on this very post within 6 minutes proves how necessary this is.

Keep up the good work!
