I got a shock of my life yesterday. I was reading my feed when suddenly I saw someone posted porn videos. I immediately blocked the person. Phew.... So how to do this? You can't do this in Steemit.com.
Let's visit Busy.Org for this purpose. Busy.Org not only give you that nice random upvotes you desire. Aside from this, there are many other things to explore when using Busy.Org. Kudos to the Devs for creating an awesome Busy.Org website.
Blocking via Busy.Org
Let's open your Steemit account using Busy.Org. If you don't know how, check my earlier post here Using busy.org. By the way, this ID was not the one who posted that porn videos, just for example okay.
How To Block Someone in Steemit. A simple tutorial
1. Click this website below and enter your ID and posting key to login. (See red circle below) Busy.Org
2. After you have logged in to Busy.Org you will see your first page like this.
By the way if in Busy.Org, Red fish (in Steemit.com) is called Plankton.
3. Click on your followers list
You can see pictures of your followers next to their names. This is one awesome features of Busy.Org vs Steemit.com
4. Click on one of your followers
When you are already on their page click the three dots (see red circle) it will drop down and you can see 'Block this user'. Click this and you are done blocking this user.

I hope you learn something new today, that's all for now.
Take care and Stay Blessed!

@ainie.kashif - Sorry to hear about your traumatising incident. Yes you did a good thing by blocking the post. And thanks for the additional information pertaining to blocking.
Hi @rlt47, I am much annoyed and traumatized, am currently doing review on my huge following list due to my mistake of just adding anyone who followed me before. I have spent my time from yesterday doing it and still doing it now. Checking each account for ghost users and damaging users. I will post an article on this exercise hopefully can complete soonest. Take care and Happy Sunday!
I wrote about this a couple of days ago. When I click on it. it doesn't work.
Hi, it does work for me. I hope it can be highlighted to someone in busy.org. Perhaps just send a message on discord channel. Thanks for dropping by and stay blessed.
Thanks. I sent them a message.

Hello @teggit, yes will add this to the guide list. Stay blessed and Happy Sunday!
This was bound to happen eventually.
There's a rule online that says that if something exists, then there will be porn of it in the long run.
There have been some attempts by some individuals to turn steemit into a porn website. But so far they're mostly ignored.
I just unfollow and ignore anyone who posts trash on steemit.
Hi @jacksondavies, I know.. it's partly my fault for not sifting through my list of followers and just added them without checking on their blog. Am doing some clean up on my list, to avoid from me seeing unwanted contents. Thanks and Stay Blessed!
Doing a clean up is essential.
The last thing you want are people that clog your feed with trash.
PS I will copy this comment to HHG 6

Hello @denni.japro, am posting my review of the unwanted users soon. It's high time to do some clean up on my list. Although it's time consuming but it's necessary. Thanks and Happy Sunday!
Its a worthy information: Its really surprised me too to Know that people wilh sub standard mentality is here in Steemit too.
so this information is helpful to others too.
Appreciate your post:
Hi @angelro, yes I was surprised as well and more surprised that they were in my following list. I guess it's my mistake for not checking before adding them. My bad because I normally just add anyone who added me, like follow for follow but this mistake that I learned dearly, need to be corrected. Am doing my review on my following list. Will ensure that am following only high quality users moving forward. Thanks and Happy Sunday!
Thanks for the information sir.
You are most welcome @sizuka and thanks for dropping by.

It's really bad that someone posts this type of video. & Thanks for your Information. I did not know about this.
Hi @fitlifefashion, yes it's very damaging... I always thought of Steemit as a professional blogging platform and not for this type of content. Anyway, it's good that we can at least block those type of contents from appearing in our feed. You are most welcome and Stay blessed!
There's an user that follows me and had a similar name, I don't use Busy (I'm just knowing it by you), so I can't block it. Does muting works the same?
PS: will copy this comment to HHG6.
@mbell - yes you will not get that persons post in your feed OR simply unfollow...
Yeah, I didn't follow that person, but I was curious about the "mutting" option. Thank you for your answer.
Hi @mbell, I am now doing review on my following list. This type of damaging post should not appear in my feed if I had practice a cautious way by visiting them before adding them. My mistake was I normally just follow anyone that followed me. So, from now on... I will change my style to check first who is worthy to be followed and not just anyone.
My advise will be the same as @rlt47, just unfollow them, that's the best thing to do.
Stay blessed and Steem On!
Yes, I check the user profile before following, I think it's important to see who you follow and as you say, if they are only using you for getting a follow and then unfollow.
Oh begitu ya caranya? Saya selama ini agak bingung bagaimana blokir akun-akun palsu yang bikin semak je. Terimakasih puan @ainie.kashif atas infonya. Salam
Hi @akukamaruzzaman, ya lah begitu banyak akaun palsu yang menyemak saja kan. Saya memang marah betul selepas terbaca posting yang mengarut sebegitu. Sekarang ni, saya sedang check supaya user-user hantu itu dibuang dari list saya. Okay, terima kasih dan salam hujung minggu.
thank you for sharing information .. many things that make us uncomfortable with a very damaging post .. a good post to take an action...
Thank you @ainie.kashif
Hi @ahyargeos, I am very annoyed with this type of post and now am doing review to get rid of unwanted users from my list, especially those ghost and damaging users. You are most welcome, stay blessed and Steem On!
