A few bad apples ruin it for everyone. I like the idea of a public list. Let these turds be known.
I'm new and have seen @cheetah and @sherlockholmes advising against certain users and their post. When we run across these what kind of action should we take?
As a new user you can't have much effect by flagging, but you will at least know not to vote those people up. You can mute them to avoid seeing anything they post or comment.
No I'm sure i don't haha i think one issue with steemit is, it's all quite confusing how it works at first and it seems the accounts that are the main culprits are either new or just constant spammers.
I cant deny, i did start to do that... only as i didnt exactly understand the idea behind steemit and how to become more popular... which i would hope most people realise they are just annoying putting silly comments like 'great post!' Or something similar.
It's social media and some people just don't get the social side of things...
I'd say i have a long way to go before truly understanding everything here
Flag them! They need to be removed... my first post has 2 people pointlessly commenting "follow for follow" i was baffled what they were trying to gain at first haha
