Flag bots

in #buildawhale6 years ago

I came across this new attempt from Steemit Defense League to cause havoc and troll.

This is not a @buildawhale account and is a random troll. If you got flagged by them, their Steem Power is 15 SP, so less than 1/10th of a cent.

I have a list of new accounts for @camillesteemer's Steemit Defense League to have the delegation removed so they can't even flag 1/10th of a cent.

There is not much that can be done until their delegation is removed, but even with the delegation the flags are not enough to take any rewards away so best to just ignore them. @camillesteemer has over 30 accounts now attempting to use Steemit Inc's Faucet to hate flag people as a result of him being flagged for spam and plagiarism in the past.

@buildawhale does run the account @badcontent that is used to notify potential curators or contest runners that a user is a spammer, plagiarist, fraud, or scammer.

Buildwhale...Amazing Post

...to hate flag people...

If someone is being downvoted for a simple difference of opinion (or simply because they don't believe in downvoting), is there any sort of "steem-high-council" that someone can appeal to?

Would it be appropriate for someone to tag a witness or big-fish (@themarkymark) to request something resembling a "fair-hearing"?

I appreciate your time and consideration on this matter,

There is no one in charge of anything on Steem. It's a decentralized platform where everyone is able to influence the reward pool based on how much stake they have.

You maybe able to talk to the person downvoting, but if that doesn't work there isn't a lot else you can do than try to reach out someone who maybe able to talk to them.

There are no "hearings" or settlements. No one has any more authority than anyone else, not even witnesses.

Thanks for the info. I know @freezepeach (50) (3,631SP) is concerned about abusive downvotes, but they seem ill equipped to deal with the full scope of the problem all by themselves. I just thought perhaps there was some other organization or procedure or appeals process you might know of.

SFR does have a healing function. It doesn't counter downvotes SP for SP like @freezepeach, but it tries to make the Rshares of a downvoted post slightly above zero, if possible.

And honestly, delegating to them is not a bad idea if you are feeling altruistic.

What's SFR? - @sfr-mod-fund?

SFR = @steemflagrewards.

We do weird stuff. We save and "terrorize"...from a certain point of view.

...but it tries to make the Rshares of a downvoted post slightly above zero, if possible.

What is the proper procedure for summoning them for assistance?

They will help with "opinion" flags. As you said, they are small. There really isn't any other group that handles counter flagging.

''It's a decentralized platform''
Bullshit. Utter bullshit,. You are not only part of the self appointed centralized authority here on steemit, i strongly suspect that you are also employed by a government agency as well, along with a number of others here.

Hello @buildawhale, I am a big fan of you, I would like to take you a legal action such a scam ID

Its people like this that make Steem hard to take seriously. So much scam attempts on here. Well atleast they don't seem to have a clue about how Steem works and wont last

exactly. Buildawhale is doing great job on trying to keep Steemit atleast somewhat clean.
Imagine a quality post noone believe just because of 30 shitposts around it with same ranking.

yeah there are people and initiatives on here fighting the abuse, but its sad the abuse is so rampant on here!

You're right, my friend! Very certainly its contents! I congratulate you!

nicce man this shouln't be staying in the community

You trying to say your not the "bubbly" type? lol.

Literally every comment in here is spammy shit. I love it.

Should see my blacklist posts and spammers asking how they can get invited.

Oh god i can only imagine. Thst has to be absolutely painfull to trudge through looking for actual replies. Do you ever just start muting them in hopes that one day you will be able to open a comments section and it not look like a dumpster fire?

Sometimes I find it amusing and other times just annoying.
