RE: Case 10: Your wife loves to upvote your spam!

Sherlock! I know you already put another link I had in your case files to check out later, but I have another on as well that has some oddly specific issues. I don't even remember how I came about this post yesterday, but I did and now I can't unsee. First, here is the post

https://steemit.com/abuse/@noganoo/pfunk-is-like-the-policeman-in-my-city-that-got-busted-for-child-porn-help-reveal-the-identities-of-these-anonymous-scoundrels

Now I asked the user who made the post to provide some kind of information for what they were saying, I was coming to this case cold, however there was definitely names I recognized and then I seen the comments, the person replied and a couple of things happened.

I'm a nerd who checks my SteemD page sometimes, so I had no clue the person replied until today, which is fine, the link they provided me was weird to me and the comments ended up being way more entertaining (this post https://steemit.com/trip/@arisa/is-that-jimmy-kimm )

Then I seen the death threat in the comments, which, is just odd to see on Steemit, I figure with accounts being tied to a blockchain that can be traced, specifically back to that users Bittrex account, it didn't feel right, but that is that users choice.

The part that got me was the follow up comment from a bot account that seems to just be following and tracking that users activity and well you can see the comments it leaves here https://steemit.com/@nogalert/comments

Normally when an account would comment with the same thing over and over that would be considered spam. And if the message was just like the one in those comments, how is this not just straight up harassment?

I bring this to you sherlock to ask... uh.. doesn't this make you sad? lol I thought this was a case at first then I realized this is just a shitty thing going on Steemit, but maybe you can bring the situation to the community that could come together to find a more positive solution? It just feels like there is a case going on in that post, if anything there is for sure death threats, but it is coming from the person that is wanting to dox others, I am not sure if anyone would (or should) assist in that, HOWEVER, I also do not believe people would really feel that harassing this user is the answer, but so far it seems to be, but I'd like to believe it is because people do not realize it is happening.

Keep up the good work and look forward to whatever case you pick next!

Yeah, seeing things like that does make me sad.

But you won't see me rambling about this, it has gotten enough attention.
