RE: Upcycling Furniture
shabbir86. That's another kick in the gut. He should be dead and buried. I have highlighted my pervious discovery to one of his larger voters.
It crossed my mind this morning to teach a Learning Challenge. Or just write a load of posts about how to catch scammers. Share some of my methods so that everybody can use them. Including the bad guys 😔
Don't you think the bad guys can get better at being bad through such posts?

It's inevitable. Some of them have pretty much mastered it now anyway. I simply don't have the time or energy to spend days investigating them any more... especially if they are able to return to their duties at some point in the future. That simonnwigwe one took me days. shabbir86 took me an entire day too.
steemcleaners would've put them on a list where they would have received downvotes until the end of time.

I understand, all the effort is futile.
Isn't there any auto downvote tool?

It could be automated but it would need coding. remlaps auto-downvotes everything that I downvote and justyy has a downvote trail tat people follow.
We say in reply to o1eh's post that some people are just scared to downvote as they fear retribution. It's easy for me not to be afraid as I don't post much so I guess others have more to lose.

A trail is not a substitute but it is something. More users could follow your trail. However, Oleh is right too, downvotes can quickly turn into an ugly war which could end up being unfair to innocent people who put real effort to get few rewards but wish to see an abuse-free environment. We need something more unanimous or universal like steemcleaners as you said.
I wonder what happened to Abuse Watcher? I still see it sometimes but from the beginning I couldn't believe fully in its authenticity. I'm not sure why.

The Steem Watchers is still going. They've got quite an extensive blacklist that they downvote but it's all low-level petty crime. It might just be that I've never noticed it but I see very little in the way of booming abuse or steemcurator accounts being investigated - unless it's a follow-up post for something I've looked into.

Definitely!
Even the "Set-#burnsteem25-for-an-autovote"-strategy Oleh noted as an example in his post is copied already by people who never used that hashtag... 🤮
