Warning: @dragos0897 has 13,000 SP leased from @minnowbooster with which to retaliate when they build their voting power back up. They are at under 3% currently. I recommend careful consideration before participating!
The rules for participation are simple:
- Flag spam comments comments until they reach $0.00 payout.
- Leave a link in a comment to steemd showing your account.
- Don't up-vote this post up-vote other participants!
Today's targets are @aesthetickale & @dragos0897. They comment spammed self-upvoted. Let's show them spam doesn't pay!

I see the team is hard at it.......good job people. Keep it up. I see that @dragos0897 is hard at it this morning. Check out his steemd acct: https://steemd.com/@dragos0897 . Keep him in your sites.
Looks like they probably control @uprising & @fapinator
Whack-A-Mole!

The @aesthetickale comments are closest to payout, only about 6 hours to go. Clearly same user or beginning of a small ring. I noticed when Spaminator gave a friendly warning they replied "There are no rules on steemit. So you can go and swallow it." So they'll agree that any number of flags are certainly allowed! 😉
Thanks for noticing. I updated the post.

We need a resteem for some reinforcements. Resteeming.
Sunday probably wasn't the best day for this. :)
https://steemdb.com/@alaqrab they cant hurt what I dont got. haha Thanks @spaminator

I flagged as much spam comments as I could before my voting power ran out. This is really great, hopefully more and more people will participate in the future and keep Steem clean! Resteeming this!
Nice initiative! The more of us help flagging, the smaller the chance that he'll retaliate all of us. Resteemed for more viibility :)

Ain't no party like a @spaminator flag party!

Ok, I helped. Did I do good?
Oh you did great! Wish I had a bigger up-vote for you! :)
We need bots like @steemitboard to stop showing any support for such people. This is why I suggested use of blacklists for know abusers of the system.
I'm considering it. I have looked at getting a private server if the support for @spaminator continues.

What is your question, my friend? I am helping to fight spam, that's all.
The comment looked weird. It looked like some random spam itself lol
Why would you post reference to your database profile? :-)
We were asked to do that in this very post, to
show that you participated in flagging blatant spammers.
Oh I see I got it now. I thought that it meant leaving the link the spam comment itself not in comment section under this post lol
resteeming this and i already see the result from the reward payout increased
I thought that said fag party.
BRB. I have to go rinse off all this glitter.
Do we have to consider those as well who are genuinely commenting on other's posts but upvoting themselves with the help of Delegate Steem Power? Some people are giving 100% upvotes to themselves!
I'm not including that in the scope of @spaminator. I personally don't have a problem with self-voting comments occasionally if there is a reason. I do it on abuse posts to get my comment seen at the top some times. If these were not spam comments I wouldn't have a problem with it. It just looks like they were too lazy to put any effort into it.
Makes a lot of sense.
your concepts is very interesting i like it very much.
Resteemed! Great job on keeping those spammers away. Maybe creating a logo would be a nice way to recognize them? :) or the red flag will do it?
I appreciate your sense of heroism but I think you over reacted. First of all, it was spammed on one of my accounts. This was none of your business. I wasn't spamming other people posts. I was just trying to get my money back from investing into minnowbooster. Now I see that all of your 'heroes' have gone too far and they are flagging even my legitimate posts. Because of you I've lost 150$. Thank you so much...
Please explain to me what I did so wrong... I wasn't laundering money I wasn't doing anything bad at all. I was just trying to get my money back... I'm against spamming also, but please stop flagging me for no reason apparently.
I apologize to this community for my acts but again, I repeat. I did it just so i can get my "investment back". Sorry if i bothered someone...
Write legitimate comments on posts. While you weren't spamming other people you were creating block chain bloat with your spam. While this goes to scalability - think about what would happen if thousands of users do what you did. Or even on a bigger scale. 1000 users & a 100 comments per? 100,000 spam comments a day that serve no purpose but self voting and increase the size of the chain.
Steemit isn't a place to sit here and self up-vote. It is about being social. Rewarding content you like and being rewarded by others. Don't create multiple accounts either for up-voting in collusion.
You'll find in the long run this never works. You are looked upon as scammers and sometimes mistaken for bots since it is fairly easy to program bots to do simple comment posting.
Try engaging the community. Go up-vote posts you like and start a conversation with a comment. Right now all it looks like is your spamming images and porn with another account in addition to spam comments.

I didn't know that spamming causes problems to the blockchain. And if it is true this is a big problems in therms of scalability. From what you are saying I understand that idiots like Jerry Banfield and Dollarvigilante are meant to make millions of $ while others aren't allowed to post... The purpose of this website is to make revenue. This is what Dan used to advertise this community.
I'm writing this with my personal account since my views may not be shared by all of those who make up @spaminator.
I really don't think scalability will be an issue long term. In the short term it is better to discourage this before we get hundreds of thousands of users doing it. Granted these are witness issues but I see trying to prevent future problems that may never appear as looking after my own investment.
I'm no happier personally about some of the way Dan and others have attracted users like Jerry & Dollarvigilante. Those are things that I cannot do anything about being a minnow myself at the moment.
What I can do is discourage abuse and promote and support groups like @minnowsupport.
From what you are saying im not even allowed to post 😂 This is ridiculous. No one would use this website anymore with this mentality. I guess indonesians who spam daily 'amazing' are allowed to post but im not.
It seems that your idiot idea makes people think it's cool to downvote and now ive got downvotes on legit comments. If you have this avenger blood why dont you downvote yourself spammers. Why do you put others to downvote?
And the fact that people like you have this 'avenging' mentality makes things even worse.
What stops me now to make a new account. Rent some steem power and kill all the accounts that downvoted me? What stops me to make spam on other accounts and recover my losses? Do you think the big guys that have tons of sp will upvote those who will have 0 reputation? Everyone is for themselves here and no one cares. There are people who seek help, who try to raise funds for their surgeries but all you do is to upvote big whales and make them even richer.
There are literally homeless people on this community and no one gives a shit about them. All the $ and fame goes to the trending page. This community is nowhere near to be different from other cancerous social medias.
I will be different. I will help people in need without bragging and earning more money for my heroic acts like you do. There is no need to brag if you do something good.
Nice initiative! The more of us help flagging, the smaller the chance that he'll retaliate all of us. Resteemed for more viibility :)
