RE: Annihilating Abusers With Co Ordinated Attacks

I've noticed a trend of abusers moving to much smaller bids from secretive bidbots. They are focusing on tribes where abuse fighting may not be as savvy.
Glad to hear sportstalk is committed to stopping it.

One thing I find is every abuser feels they are entitled to a freebie. Please sir explain what I did wrong.
Well it looks like bid abuse on an account that only suddenly became active.
Usually they pretend they cannot understand even when given the abuse reason or sent the link with definitions. I prefer they figure it out entirely themselves as answering leads to unproductive arguements or worse begging.
It took me almost a year and over 100 posts before I figured out what abuse was, people figuring it out almost immediately are probably not for real.

Sort:  

It has taken us a little time to get accustomed to fighting the abuse and I am happy to say it is great to see abusers rewards being removed. If the tribes are going to attract investors they have to be busy fighting any abuse taking place. The larger accounts in the Sportstalk tribe see this and are very busy fighting any abuse.I noticed we were spraying our votes and not hitting them as hard as they should have been. That has been resolved now and happy to say these accounts are going to make 0 sports from now on.

I have set up a downvote trail to follow your downvotes. It is not very much but I hope it helps a bit Let's get rid of these abusers!

That is great. Thank you. We will succeed.

That's a problem when posting with multiple tags as they will happily lose one set of tokens knowing they are getting a pile from another tribe on the same post . In this particular case , I have a big dliker token stake so we can remove two sets of tokens from them .

Of course, they'll be back at some point with new accounts and their attitude of entitlement so it's a never ending job !

Right thats where the don't take too much effort explaining abuse comes in. Use the effort tonstop more of it.
Sports is a tough one to manage given the diversity of sports, but ultimately defining what is acceptable is up to the stakeholders.
