RE: So I just flagged a spammer with ~3400 accounts voting numbered comments..

in #spam7 years ago (edited)

I respect you for using up your voting power for this shit. I just had to use a lot of mine to flag every post on this catfish's account. I wasn't powerful enough to strip them of all the rewards though.

There is a ton of abuse happening now, and I think we all need to set aside a percentage of our voting power just to flag this type of shit that's popping up everywhere, because if we don't send a strong message that it won't be tolerated, it will only get ten times worse as more people join and take their cue from these greedy little fuckers.

If anyone would like to help remove the rewards from this faker, the profile link is here. They are using an athlete's instagram photos and claiming to be her. I suspect that most of these catfish accounts are probably owned by the same handful of people. They wouldn't be making any money if pathetic dudes stopped upvoting photos just because there is a woman in it. I mean, wtf is this shit becoming, Snapchat?

I added a few downvotes to her(his?) posts as well. Good catch.

Thanks for that. I just went and had another look at the account. They have lost most of their rewards, other than a decent paid introduce yourself post, but it doesn't even seem to have affected them at all. They have still posted like 20 "nice post" comments in the last half an hour lol.

I'm starting to wonder if these castfish accounts could be automated? At least to a degree..
