RE: Earn an Upvote for Spotting Spam/Bid-bot Abuse!

in #spam5 years ago

Tough call... collides a bit with my mind set of positively enforcing and ignoring the "ugly/bad". But I understand that this needs to be cleaned up. I have nothing spammy to report from my feed besides my own usage of bit bots in the past which I experimented with a few months ago. Without any significant monetary success I must admit also... 🤣

A downvote can mean you disagree with the amount of reward somoen earned based on their work done.

Do you think a sloppily written 100 text post should net $70 in rewards? No? Then a downvote is justified.

Nothing personal.

Yep, gotcha! Still I’m hesitant a little with this. Let’s see how this plays out in the next few weeks. I hope the fun and joy of being on this platform will not be touched by downvote “wars”. I hear a lot of frustration especially from new people that are trying to to tip their toes into STEEM. HF21 however was the right move imho.

Downvote wars is a certainty. I don't put much hope that all the "you know who" on the Steem Blockchain will not stop shitposting for free money and then not get pissed when they got stopped.

People who say

"this is my steem power, it's up to me to do whatever I want"

Will always be the same who will say

"steem is going shit because the price keeps falling everyone here sucks and because you don't do anything"

Of course, they will not leave.. Not until they can suck every penny out of their SP and ROI and then move on to other fresh meats

Thanks for your reply! I guess you guys are right. It’s time to do something about this. Let’s see how things play out. Cheers!

It always sucks having to get hands dirty, but this is the ugly side of Steem that is actually very important. We can't keep sweeping abuse under the rug, time to fight back! Appreciate reporting anything abuse you do see.

Will do!

I don't see it as getting dirty. It's a legitimate response to abusive behaviour. Keep up the good work Dan.
