Hey! I noticed you've been voting on many #introduceyourself posts lately, could I ask to be a bit more careful in the future? I'd recommend mostly voting on verified users as voting on possibly fake ones will just increase the amount of fake ones in the future when they see those posts being rewarded + it will use a lot of voting power from steemcleaners and others to remove the rewards after and also cost you curation rewards. Thanks!

Yeah, I understand your concerns and may be there could be a negative effect.
I however read the introduceyourself post one by one and give them a voting.
Mostly I vote on members who upload their photos and their own stories under the low rewards.
I think it can give newbies motivation to enjoy Steemit more and it will be helpful for Steemit in the view of long-term.
Yeah I definitely agree with you on the last part - its just that voting on users who share "their" photos but don't verify in any way that its actually them leads to more new accounts faking their persona because they see it as easy Money. I've been voting on intro posts for a year now and most users that join and check introduceyourself section or have been invited by friends know that verifying they are "real" gives them more rewards and eliminates the fake ones at the same time.
The only reason I bring this up is cause I've noticed many fake ones recently which could have been caused by big votes on previous fake ones.
Any chance you could remove your upvote from this post? This one is clearly a case of identity theft-https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@frangirs/hello-steemit
and this one https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@frangirs/i-love-outdoor-sport
I would also consider removing this vote as well until the person can verify their identity https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@anacheri/hola-steemers
@skan, perhaps you could remove your vote on this post? https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@frangirs/hello-steemit they are using photos from a model
Try and reply to him directly about it as mentions are easily missed.
Also this one doesn't reply to comments about verification, etc.

Removed. I thought she herself is a model.
Hmm... fake accounts and postings.... not easy problems.
Thanks, obviously it is hard to tell but in the end I just like seeing the rewards go to the people who deserve them
