Lots of new accounts again. I saw there are a few people who have over 2000 bot accounts voting up loads of comments, but some good people are flagging them. Otherwise they can make hundreds each day. This is why new accounts need to be verified somehow. They have a financial impact on Steemit

There will be always some black sheeps abusing the system, guess not only here on steemit.....
Of course, but there is real money to be made here. We do have means to counter some of the abuse
how you want to verify them beside sms?
It could be by verifying some other social account, e.g. FB or Twtr, but I know those also have issues with fake accounts. One way would be to charge for accounts. You can already bypass the verification by paying. That reduces the impact on the Steem account that funds new accounts. I'm sure others have ideas on this
ID would be a solution, but it maybe took a lot of time, plus most of the people don't want that...
