Abuse Report #6 - @barski

in #abuse2 years ago

We pay special attention to accounts that publish 4 times a day. Every day.

Especially to those who have even managed to build a high reputation based on this excessive daily posting.

So far, we've shown you all kinds of abuse - farming, plagiarism and spam. But we have not yet decided which one of them is graver.
Plagiarism is a theft - a pure crime. But farming too – it is a misappropriation of rewards. And spam and excessive posting also often lead to criminal consequences - the abuser may receive rewards for it that could have been given to a user with much better content.


So, here is our next example: @barski with his 4 posts a day. Every day.

It turned out that Hive sometimes allows certain users to "hide" and post undisturbed for months or years repetitive or low-effort spam content. As is the case with @barski, who has managed to find the right communities for this - abandoned communities or those without any particular requirements for effort, length, quantity or quality of the posts.

This is the field for publishing 3 of his 4 posts.

Then comes the fourth post and this is the biggest surprise. Because it is published every day in LeoFinance – “a community for crypto & finance”, as its description reads.

But this is a post with the recurring theme 'postage stamps'.

Do you think that these posts really have anything to do with finance, investment and crypto? Or rather, they are just part of this so popular farming scheme of some users?


Let's keep Hive free of abusers, farmers, spammers and low-quality content producers!

@xposd is a project of a bunch of people who care about the quality, purity and integrity of our decentralized social network.

We are not here for the rewards and they’re all declined, but everyone could support us by sending HIVE anonymously from any exchange where HIVE is listed.

All donations will be used for exposing more abusers, downvoting shit posts and comments and upvoting quality content.

Sort:  

@azircon, we think this case may be interesting to you, because in addition to farming, the account above seems to be supported by the thousand accounts of cranium and somehow linked to him.

We are not spammers, so we'll stop addressing you and tagging you if you give us such instructions and if you tell us you are not interested in being informed about accounts that managed to milk unnoticed the platform for years.
We apologize for what happened 4 days ago! We shouldn't do that. But we couldn't stay idly by in front of a blatant lie. We only wanted to provide more information and throw more light on the case. But obviously, this wasn't the proper way.

Please stop tagging me.
