This is an endless, thankless, and unrewarding job,
Is there any process set up for people to rewarded for identifying plagiarists, spammers etc?
If people were incentivized to report accounts that were 'dodgy', self policing would become much more efficient.
(1sbd, or something - for highlighting accounts)
I spend a lot of time on steemit everyday, and would happily help search accounts - if it was not 'a thankless task', as you say.
A potentially profitable task would help persuade everyone chip in...
feel free to hire me! lol.
I like the idea of self policing, although it's hard to determine where the reward comes from, some neutral source that does not have its own agenda to promote. Maybe each account contributes to the pool to gain from it's benefit. Socialism?

There is the link for the form to fill out, if they find the abuse legit they give you a small stipend, I don't recall the amount, I tried to find the article where I read about it a couple weeks ago. I'll keep a eye out and see if I can find it but if you click on articles about abuse usually someone mentions it.
Setting aside some of the reward pool for abuse combating would require some kind of fork. Anything else would have to be organized organically, and the money would have to come from somewhere...
and then abuse reporting would be abused ;)
