I found out I am not as nice as I thought dealing with the spam commenters. I totally understand if someone doesn't speak English but I know many non english speakers that use a translator and never have asked me for a vote or help. Now they have a higher rep than me and some are very famous on steemit. So I post this at the bottom of every article.
I will flag comment spam at 1% strength. If you keep on spamming my post I will flag you at 100%. I don't care if you have limited English abilities write a couple sentences about this article, no copy-paste please. I will flag: one sentence comments, links to your blog and begging for up-votes and follows. Also I will flag comments that have nothing to do with my blogs article. I will also check your comment section to see if you have been comment spamming on other blogs.
Sadly most won't read my article or translate it and are now getting flagged.
I do exactly the same! I am not as civilised as you and dont even warn them. I laid off for this post though because of the entertainment value given what the post is about hehe.
I think if more and more of us do this kind of thing we can help clean up this awful annoying behaviour
I think the higher our rep number the more responsibility we need to take on helping improve the Steemit platform. I'm not a programmer or a social engineer, this is my little way of helping out. Sometimes I post a simple article and let everyone do their thing just for the kicks and giggles. But even that isn't fun anymore. So, I pretend I am my Zen teacher and use the zen wake-up stick...wack! Wack! on the head.... It really dosn't hurt but it does wake you up...hahaha
The Zen wake up stick is what is needed most! Yes, I do agree. I occasionally police some of the new posts to try and catch them early but there is a torrent now so catch them via the lure of my blog. I think because I am a cheery soul they think I am an easy mark. Lol, not for long thought :O)
I'm kind of scared of you because you look absolutely insane from your articles pictures....if you are Scottish that is even scarier...hahaha
Greetings reddust.
This is bleujay.
meesterboom's animations are helpful...I have tried linking those as well.
Would you mind terribly if I were to copy the above comments and paste them in my comment section.....You have really said it best....I think the very same.....however there are those who are long timers who do not agree....perhaps this would assist.
Lovely to 'see' you.
Cheers.
You have my blessings bleujay ❤️
Thank you kindly @reddust. ^__^
Haha, I am a big friendly puppy cat :0D
