Here's a few more accounts I've found with unreasonable pending rewards. These comments are near 6 days and pending payout soon at the number of hours listed and the rewards here are estimates.
@upvote4u, @pangsoyun, and @twinbabies
These are all the single word comment "guys" on the parent post that is an absurd mess of posts with massive upvotes. This is obviously where they hide all of this nonsense.
@kenzycrazy and @nhutle
More of the usual continual upvotes to the #introduceyourself welcome.
@tediursa24 and @turtledance24
These comments are the single character "0" and both accounts upvoted.
@orangesphere and @penghuren
An odd meme and mostly self-upvoted, but @penghuren trails behind with a 1% dust vote.
As a lowly amoeba with a mediocre reputation score, what can I do to help fight this garbage. This spam, upvoting and systemic money thievery really pisses me off. How do I get more involved in this fight? Grrrrrrrr
I'm thinking more and more about ways to empower minnows in the fight against these spammers, but just like you said, it's tough with low rep and SP. Even so, you can always report anything you find to @steemcleaners online reporting and they'll even reward with you with a little more SP!
I've been reporting to those guys almost every day, since I started. I haven't seen one of my dozens of links even listed in their reports. I report all sorts of stuff and I think it falls on deaf ears, sadly.
What we need to do is push the witnesses to mod the reputation system to favor abuse fighters. The issue is that lower rep users cannot harm the rep of a higher rep scammer. That MUST change. Yes, I understand that their are downsides as with those that flag for illegitimate reasons but I'm sure there is a way we can implement a review process for something like that.
Also, bid bot owners should devote a portion of the SP to abuse fighting if they really want to provide a useful service to the community.
It's discouraging to see scammers like this get ahead like this every day and far too few with th required reputation and SP are willing to deal with them.
I plan on making a case to them and hope it doesn't fall on deaf ears. Thank you for pointing out this abuse, @duplibot!
you are perfectly right. I just flagged 4 scammers and if barely downvoted 3 cents out of their rewards. There's nothing much more i can do with little sp and no support. Yeah i report but it never got attention. Me flagging, feels like a sensual touch for them .
this guy is spamming with thousands of posts in few months https://steemit.com/@offgridlife
I completely agree we need to do more to work against this abuse. I hope the discussion around reputation continues, I think there's plenty of ways to improve that.
That's obviously a long road so I wanna find an approach that's immediately available. The idea of other bot owners devoting some SP to the fight is very interesting and so I wanna let that sink in a little.
I hope to see more involved, especially the whales with huge reps and SP that can make a real difference.
whales.. do you think they became whales by being generous and helping the community ?? rarely..
