Agreed. Making a tool or report page like steemd, steemitworld, or steemreports would be better and working in the discord channels with @spaminator, @cheetah, and @steemcleaners would be good too. We need to be careful not to become what we are fighting against. If you're going to police comment spam, you need to be beyond reproach. Seems like an oxymoron to use bandwidth to tell abusers how much they're hurting bandwidth.
One thing that be awesome would be a report page that users can go to and see all these abusers in one spot. Then users can confirm the abuse and/or click a link to automatically submit to https://steemcleaners.org/abuse-report
It's nice that you're getting upvotes on your comments, but if you're looking to get votes, that's not the best way. If you are looking for a financially viable path with what you have here, the best way may actually help you get more curators. That is to use @utopian-io. My suggestion is to
- Create a tool for everyone to use
- Open source it
- Contribute to @utopian-io
- Get the word out to curators (3 will actually accomplish a lot of this for you because @utopian-io will resteem you to its followers). If your tool is useful enough, it could be pinned in the @steemcleaners discord server which will get you more attention than anything else.
You'll get regular upvotes on your contribution and any changes you make to it from your supporters. Each change you make will earn more upvotes and exposure to curators which means even more support.
That would be a really amazing tool that would get a lot of use. It could possibly become a curation portal for users that want to fight spam. I think you're on the cusp of something really great here. It has a lot of potential.
