RE: Steemit creates accounts for scammers... and nobody else?

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

This is problem 1 and 1a for steemit. Until this gets solved everything else is just details. Some how there needs to be some skin the game for everyone that starts one. I would go as far as finding unique voting patterns and common voting patterns with some of these accounts. Accounts with this kind of activity need to be taken off. This activity could even be blatant to be caught to show how messed up that is. What the solution is I don't know though. I spend three months killing myself finding a great community following of a few hundred people and these 'people' go out and create 80 friends over night, of which can be mechanized to vote. This is where automated voting systems like steemauto need to have some way to catch this (maybe start automatically flagging each other, lol).
Freaking counterfeit steem, this kind of crap brought the market down in 2008, naked short selling, this would be its identical twin on steemit. I will stay tuned for your answers to this problem!

For anyone that would like to do the exact opposite of what these counterfeiters are doing to steemit there is a newbie event set up to help people who just created LEGITIMATE accounts...
