@c0ff33a,

I was very curious to see what you thought of this proposal. I was going to DM you, "Get your ass over to my blog ..."

people opening up 100's of accounts and then using them via a bot to flag random posts.

Curiously, in the past week or so, I received dozens of new Followers with very negative reputation scores ... including several with Negative Infinity (one wonders what you have to do to earn a negative infinity score). They've come in waves, with each wave Following at the same time (so, presumably, it's the same person with numerous accounts). Do you know anything of their intentions? I can't imagine that my paltry payouts engender a "curation trail" profit motive.

If anyone else has any thoughts, please chime in.

By The Way, @c0ff33a is beginning the long and laborious assent to a Witness status that actually matters ... Top 20. I've already enthusiastically voted for him and would encourage others to investigate his history and consider his elevation. If there is a person more dedicated to Steemit (I personally have speculated that there must be two of him due to his ubiquitous presence EVERYWHERE), I am unaware of their identity. He is a good and honorable man (with little understanding of mathematics, given the amount of time he spends helping people with $0.002 upvotes) ... and I am not one to use those words lightly.

Quill.
