RE: Observation and Analysis - Firepower of Spamming 观察与分析之奇葩列传 🔍

[bashadow]

Since June 1, 2017, he wrote 91 exactly same comments.

To me it seems he looks at a lot of pictures, and is trying to encourage the people he left the comment "These are some incredible pictures! I loved your work!" To me that is not spam, but I guess to each their own. 4 months and 8 days, 91 same comments, thats what less than 1 same comment a day, and that makes him a spammer? If you took the time to scroll down on his page and look at his comments it took me quite awhile before I even saw a similar comment and the only exact same comment I saw was "Thank You" So I disagree with your view on him being a serial spammer.

1. I believe I already listed enough evidence to convince me that firepower is a spammer
2. I showed some evidences in my article and let readers to make judgement whether he is a spammer.
3. If anybody like you don't believe he is a spammer, I fully respect it
4. I just did a random search to check how many comments are exactly same as the one he put in my post. The following screenshoot was in my original post. On Oct 7, he sent out this comment 9 times.
   
5. I can show you more evidences that he is spammer. But I believe the evidences I showed in my original post is already enough. For more evidence, please go to @ace108's page to read his reports. There are many reports in @ace108's page. This is a sample report. Please read @ace108's reports and make the judgement whether firepower is a spammer or not
6. I found firepower is spammer. Then, I noticed that firepower mentioned many times in @ace108's reports. And those reports confirmed that firepower is a spammer.
7. The following screenshot was also in my original article. Please pay attention to the timestamps. About 1 comment per minute, almost distributed evenly for 20 minutes (The burst may be longer than 20 minutes, my screen size limited to 20 records). Can you do this manually? I cannot do it, because I am not a robot
   
8. Please check the above and make the judgement whether he is a spammer or not. Whatever conclusion you have, I respect it.
   Thank you very much for reading and leaving message. I do appreciate it.

Thank you. He may use a bot, I don't really know. All I know is when i scrolled back on his comments for a couple of days, I did not see an excess of repeat comments, granted I did only scroll back through 2 days of comments.

I guess he learned how to behave in the last 2 days for not spamming too much 😄
However, he claimed he banned the users who support my post at steemit.chat. Steemit community needs to know the censorship and dictatorship of steemit.chat:

Sometimes people for whatever reason just can not get along. I am sorry you and he have issues that can not be resolved. He is only one person among thousands here on steemit. Why fret over the actions of one individual, when there are so many good people on here. Spam, abuse, and plagiarism, are like beauty, in the eyes of the beholders.

If his reputation was low, then I would simply mute him. But his reputation is 69. His irresponsible spamming action is very harmful for the community. Some of my friends were fooled by him. He post trash to my posts twice in one afternoon. Therefore, I wrote the article. Then he down voted me like mad and use s4s to down vote me. Then 3 whales came to down vote me, though these whales removed the down votes later. Firepower harassed me and threatened me. Then he kick users who supported my post from steemit.chat. I am not able to login steemit.chat. Steemit.chat is a website for appeal, where do I appeal?

As a bystander, please let me know what I should do now?

Thanks

Perhaps you could re-look at what you consider spam. Re-look at the comments @firepower has made, and who those comments are made to. When I looked at those 2 days, he "Welcomed" a lot of new users to Steemit. I had like 3 people, one of which was a bot, and the other two my wife and her friend welcome me to steemit. Yes his welcome comments may seem trite to you and be seen as spam, but at least he took the few seconds needed to watch the new user post and make a comment to them. As for all the "Spam" on picture post, did you look and see what level some of those people posting pictures were, how many of them got upvotes from him. I don't think, (I looked at 20 random post comments he made) any of them did not receive an upvote from him. Not one that I looked at asked them to come and see his page or to upvote his blogs, or to follow him, He just made some generic comments, upvoted the people's work and moved on. That is not a serial spammer. If you just can not move beyond your narrow definition of spam, then mute really is your only other option. A spammer will not upvote, a spammer begs people, a spammer does not give a shit about steemit community. Your view of @firepower somewhere along the line I think, got extremely skewed, I am not sure how, it happens, conflicting personalities, or archetypes, sometimes people just for unknown reasons can not and never will get along, in those cases, it is either all out war, or mutual tolerance and ignore each other however they can.

Thanks. You may want to check his older comments before I published my article. If you believe it's not spamming, I respect you. I believe it's spamming. Please also respect me.

If you think what he did is not spamming, I have another article for you.

In this article, I proposed a robot to do what firepower can do and can do it better: sending comments to 200 users each day and hopefully to get followers.

The article is just for fun. I will not make this robot, because it's too low for me. I just want to know if there are many users to use this kind of robots or method, whether you still think it's not spamming.

Enjoy
