RE: Impersonator Flag Accounts

in #steemcleaners6 years ago

There are currently approximately 90 known accounts belonging to a user who flags Steemians for no apparent reason at all. The flags are tiny and typically cannot damage an account. All of the accounts were recently created through the Steemit faucet and have the default delegation.

My intuition was telling me there must be someone behind all this. Someone or a very small number with accounts that enjoy these types of childish games (annoying everyone else while they/him/her/it sits back to enjoy the drama). It's an affront to legitimate users. I for example, only have 1 account, I'm not interested in owning any more. But even if I did, I think 90 accounts for the same user is an affront to legitimate users. I've seen people in the platform being so vocal about those unfairly abusing the reward pool... isn't owning 90 accounts an abuse of the reward pool?

Or is this account so powerful no one dares to stop its abuse of the platform? I couldn't care else who this person/bot/gang is... I do care about wasting my time and being dragged into something I have no interest in. I wouldn't even care much about the flags if this gang didn't plaster all over their accounts that they flag people by being abusers... as I stated elsewhere I feel personally insulted by this.

There should be a limit on how many accounts each user could create. It would lower the amount of spammers and parasites in the platform. The future looks bleak indeed if this goes on: content creators and manual curators what incentives do they have at the moment? Maybe the real reason this person/bot/gang has is exactly to stop people creating content. The thought has crossed my mind more than once.

Hugs! ❤

I also had some flags from @fertipo, @numerusclosus and @jeanmaloro. Posting nothing, there is no way to flag them.

I also believe that there is a unique creator of all these accounts. A limit on account creation will be easy to trick with proxies.

Is it possible that @steem delegates no SP to these accounts?

I got another one: @jupitor21. This claims to be a loving bot, lol less insulting...

Am I the only one finding this is going too far already?

Exactly @droida these zero posters should not be allowed to upvote nor downvote until they contributed something to the community.
