@bunnypuncher It would appear that a particular user may be gaming the system. They don't post or resteem, but their account value is $15,106,018.64 as of this moment and they have delegated the following to steemcleaners.
| Date | SPs |
|---|---|
| 2018-02-06 | 1,516,044.472 |

This users has a long record of substantial delegation to other accounts as well. They are, in turn receiving transfers from many users. Examples of the nature of the business are the following memos attached to two transfers to the user who delegated to steemcleaners:
Hello Dear, will you delegate me 100k steem power? I will send you my earnings 98% + Curation daily
Hi ********************, i am a collective run account fighting spam in spanish and trying to keep the blockchain clean. We are constantly looking for support and wanted to ask if it was possible to reach an agreement. At the moment we both upvote quality posts and downvote spam because of the limited resources at hand, might sound counter intuitive but we want to secure the support of the community and show we are about a clean chain, but if the delegation requieres no upvotes we have no problem and will stick to it. We have a reverse fanbase bot ready to go but at the moment we are working manually both curating and downvoting and leaving personnal comments. thanks for your time and atention. best regards ****************

Did you want to do something about the arbitrary down-voting? As found in the ToS, the contact for this sort of thing is [email protected]. Feel free to submit this info to the Steemit legal rep. If they deem that the behavior warrants investigation, they can use SteemWorld on the steemcleaners account.
I dug a little deeper. Steemit and Steemit2 are transferring vesting STEEM to the delegator supporting steemcleaners. Forget complaining to the legal department. It looks like we're all being gamed by Steemit!@bunnypuncher
