Snap and a half! Message to ABUSERS - Go Back To Youtube!
In the last couple of weeks I seen an increasing amount of users who post worthless, stolen content on Dtube. At first I didnt even want to make a video about it but at this point, I cant take it any more. None of them stopped on my warnings so Im asking for advice and help.
What can we do to make them stop?
Let me know what you think. As always, one comment that brings most value to the table gets my full upvote!
In a future video
When I complete the abuser list, I will share it with you and ask for your help in opening up their eyes to the fact that this is not how they will make any rewards here.

Hey Runicar,
just wanted to let you know how much I dig your recent format, it's really good to feel ya and it's a pleasure to watch your spirit bounce up and down in front of the camera with a message to share, just like the last video talking about the necessity for hard work instead of entitled demands - high five. Calling awareness to societal and worldview issues does fit you very well and it's inspiring to see you move more and more in the direction of a -can I call it - light warrior who is not afraid to call out the BS.
As for flagging, I should really take your thoughts as guideline. I rarely use dtube because it and me had some issues in the past, so I rarely browse it and hence don't see a lot of the plagiarism that is going on.
But I guess it goes for mere articles as well, of which I do sometimes find some blatant plagiarism, I really ought to step up and consider flagging when my intuition tickles me instead of letting it pass. Have not been doing so yet and I see the ramifications of letting the shenanigans go on on a large scale if we all just keep our mouth shut and let the plagiarists do their scamming.
As other commenters have said, Steemit would be much cleaner if we all did our part and I shall do mine.
Your reminder comes highly appreciated, especially now that I am not a little plankton any longer and could really help making an impact, so cheers brother for all you do here and for the clarity of your message <3 <3
Eventually when their mission fails they give up and go back to wherever they came from. A Blacklist however could Help.
Sadly, some of them have been posting for a year without any results and still dont want to give up, lol
Yes, blacklist is a good way to start but other actions must be taken in order to really make our message out.
I agree with you completely!
I would suggest on top of flagging dropping them a @d00k13 using “! shitpost” in a comment ( minus the space I don’t want to trigger it on your post as the pictures are not pleasant ) go give it a try 😅 I think the point will be loud and clear!

hahahaha strangely enough I haven't yet came across that command anywhere. Thanks for letting me know, I can imagine it will be quite effective. Will test it out soon an let you know of the responses I get 🤣
I have seen that in a post before. And I quickly closed my browser because I can not stand the images. It is so disturbing, haha.
hahahahah
Your welcome I really love it, only used it a few times so far but I found it fairly effective and fitting for my name 🤙

These slimy little plagiarists will pay!
Totally agree with you about people posting rubbish on Dtube. When I first joined I thought anything we posted was forever on Dtube . It was only recently that I read in a post that this was not true and that our old posts are getting deleted due to not enough storage space on the platform. In hind sight I should not be surprised as the info needs to be stored somewhere and eventually it will fill up.
People posting rubbish make this happen so much faster and our posts disappear quicker.
You mentioned flagging them but unless I heard wrong you also said they received no upvotes, so how will flagging them help if they are already getting no payout. I guess for the moment flagging and posting a comment that you do not like it is our only options at the moment.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not attacking those who post low quality content, those users I can understand. Not everyone has a professional camera or editing skills. They will hopefully learn to edit and invest in gear after time.
But the users I do hate and despise are the ones stealing others work and posting it on here in hopes to get some rewards. That's something I cant take and it annoys the shit out of me.
The point of flagging even when they got no payouts is to grey them out. Flag them out of existence. It doesn't matter that they have no rewards, flags are a great way to warn and punish.
If their content is greyed out, they have little to no chances of getting any further upvotes.
I also get angry when I see stolen content on dtube .. The solution is like you've said flagging but also explaining why.
The suggestion of @hauptmann is good and of course effective. Blacklists are a good way to save up your own voting power - because it should be used to upvote and not to downvote. There are accounts especially created for flagging. I think also @cheetah has got a blacklist.
Anyhow: If we all would care about this shi§t content and flag them and explain why, we would not have as much as now of that crap. So please continue to safe our bandwith and our rewards from these people.
Thanks for putting that topic on the table and stay creative my friend!
I like the colorgrading / camera configurations you have in that video & the movement :D it looks a bit like you need to go to p33 ^^
Peace!

Hey @tibfox thanks for stopping by and leaving a thoughtful coment like you always do!
I think that cheetah blacklists are only for abusers who post stolen articles and probably has no way of figuring out if a video is stolen or not.
Agreed, each one of us should take responsibility to flag and explain why, whenever we see such content posted on Dtube. There is a limit on the amoutn of videos Dtube can store and these users are taking up valuable space from us who actually post meaningful content.
hahahha I didnt have to pee
but whenever I record I just feel like I need to be constantly walking in order to preserve my train of thought, lol
Dtube on my friend!
#engagetogrow
And thanks for the resteem!
Cya around!
you can report them to https://steemit.com/@steemcleaners even if you flag them......
they also have a discord you can go to and talk with them about what is the best way to deal with spammers. They also have their own black list..so would be worth checking into
I have had whole posts stolen and reposted under someone else's name so I hear you on how frustrating it is when you see it.
THanks for the suggestion @snook, I'll stop by their discordz to see how they can help me.
Tell me about it.... I've seen everything there is when it comes to that kind of abusers on here. I had enough of their posts but now have to put up with their nonsense on dtube?
No,no no.
I'm not going to take that.
I dont think there is a way to completely stop them from posting but I agree flagging the content so they dont get rewards and as @dook13 said using that comment to help prevent them is also a good idea.
The biggest issue is that they dont care. It takes them very little time and its so easy to do. The best thing we can do right now is flagging.
Dtube and steemit should be only for original content! Not exceptions!
I completely agree with you. Some of them just don't care but I think they will when they will not be able to even make the two cents they were getting before.
Hail Mary!
That is super annoying. But I think that won't stop and it will only get worst as more people join us.
Hopefully people will always be clever to not even upvote them... But it will be difficult to kick them off.
Oh tell me about it....
We can't hope something will change, we must be the ones to fix it. I have a couple solid ideas after that will surely be very effective :D
Just wait and see them dissapear
Becoming the eradicator of the spammers... Ehehhe

Tbh, I think, they don't even watch this vid. They're not here to care. We gotta find some other ways :)
Ye, they most likely dont but they will soon feel the wrath of an army of flags :)
