Unfortunately most people only see the short term reward in getting the curation from upvoting. Getting people to downvote or even remove their votes from abuse is worse than pulling teeth. The scammers are slowly winning. All they have to do is what that g-dub is doing to try to take support away from those actually fighting the abuse. The personal attacks and revenge flaggings are fun too. deal with too.

Yeah I agree and for the record, I am against personal attacks and revenge flagging too, I should have mentioned that in my post because it is a definite problem.
