Sneaky Ninja
Blacklist Update
Blacklist Update
So, as I've posted Sneaky Ninja has a growing blacklist. This is an update as to new accounts being added to it.
In an effort to keep spam accounts and bot abusers from using The Sneaky Ninja I'm keeping tabs on any accounts I see that seem like spam or abuse. I cannot view all bidders posts because I simply do not have time. However what I am doing is when I do have time I will go through as many bidders posts as possible to find spammers.
If you are thought to be a spammer you will be added to my blacklist, no questions asked.
Bid bots are a privilege service, they are not to be used for spam posts.
Accounts added today.
If you see your name on this list you have been deemed a spammer and will no longer be receiving votes. You also will not receive any refunds for bids you put in so don't ask, and don't spam.
Now, I would like to ask something from the community...
If any of you see accounts that are using my service that are spamming and profiting from it please bring them to my attention for review. I simply do not have the time alone to find everyone.
@grumpycat, this means you too. Instead of stealing money from good posters you could spend your time flagging spammers then bringing them to bot owners attention so that we can blacklist them, like the one you showed me today (who, you will see is on my list). This would be a far more productive use of your time. That is of course only if you actually are trying to help solve the issue.
In further helping to solve bid bot abuse...In further efforts to help solve bid bot abuse @yabapmatt, @themarkymark and few others are currently working on a communal blacklist that all bot owners can share from. This will allow us the ability to add spammers and abusers at a much faster rate and it will be unanimous across steemit.
This communal blacklist is, in my opinion, the best line of defense for this issue. You cannot say that bidding on an old post is black and white bad or abuse because this is simply not true. There are several legitimate reasons a person will bid that late. However when an account has actually been inspected and deemed to be abusing bots it is for real on an individual basis. These accounts can then be added to this communal blacklist and shared across steemit to effectively root out the issue.
Many thanks,

@bleujay Sneaky Ninja Attack! You have been defended with a 0.95% vote... I was summoned by @carpinus! I have done their bidding and now I will vanish...
There was no vote....so therefore this seems a bit suspicious.
Cheers.
absolute not. I've never heard of this guy
Thank you for your reply @sneaky-ninja.
That particular account was absolutely chewed out on another site.....so it did get my attention.
Thank you for the clarification.
All the best.
Cheers.
I let him know not to impersonate ninja.
Thank you @michaeldavid.....very kind of you.

STOPMan, keeping a master black list is a good idea but that sounds like a full time job for a few people. With all the spam out there I guess you can only hope to discourage it.
Thanks for being proactive on making the community better.
That is why the blacklist is so great. If several of us are simply adding to it continually, it will grow fast without a lot of work for each person.

hi
awesome
Hello @sneaky-ninja i have sent you 0.50 SBD. Kindly upvote on my post. Thanks
I've seen you around and even sometimes on spam so I'll certainly link them back to here. I'm gonna search thru your blog to see how I can sign up bc I'm interestd in this service and I never post spam :)
Great! That will be very helpful. My current blacklist has over 150 accounts on it now. Some do get through the cracks sometimes. I appreciate all the help I can get. It will also help other bot owners too. Currently a few of us are sharing our blacklists. :)
Thankful for this initiative on Steemit. Thanks for your hard work!
Your welcome. Getting all of it my never happen but I believe we can definitely filter the vast majority.
Have you seen this and have you take action?
https://steemit.com/buildawhale/@themarkymark/why-i-am-blacklisting-trevonjb-from-using-buildawhale
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will be talking to @themarkymark about this one and taking action for sure.
Your welcome!
We need to keep steemit clean from scammers as good as we can ;)
Yes we do!
Awesome this is why I love the steemit comunity a lot!
Have a nice day :)
Please block @trevonjb or whatever trevon james account is. After his last post about how he's using the SBD from minnow booster to basically milk bots for even more money that's not the type of success we want to be spreading on this platform.
On it. thanks for letting me know.
Love the idea of the communal blacklist.
Good luck! I dont use bots much so most likely wont be of much help.
I appreciate the support. If you do see ninja on a spam or abusive account as you wander through steemit just let me know and I'll look into it.
no problem!
Great info, great job @sneaky-ninja.
I am @chrisdsteemsport, the founder of a steemit whatsapp group called steemit-city where steemians helps each other, and we are lauching steemit-city on steemit as a curation account with its tour programs coming soon. I ask for your relationship and support of the steemit-city curative account when launched. Here is the whatsapp link👉 https://chat.whatsapp.com/Bk8HCCmUtuo0LJ8aSC4jYT Thanks for your mutual understanding
tried to check this out and have no idea how to scan a qr code with whatsapp lol
@michaeldavid please am not understanding you. I only need a support here k .am not a spam. Just chect the what group out k
I cant get the thing to open man
Well dome bro keeping it spam free and clean for the real fish to do there thing. Be well bro
Thanks man. that is the mission.
Hey @sneaky-ninja
Is there a reason why you haven't moved to the 3.5 day old post voting limit like many of the other larger bid-bots?
Cheers
there are so many reasons that I certainly cannot write them all here. I would say that one big one is that it actually does not solve the issue of bot abuse. People have the right to vote until the 7th day. Changing to 3.5 will allow more time for their posts to be flagged but there simply are not enough people flagging abusive posts for that to matter. Besides voting late is not abusive in and of itself. There are plenty of legitimate people that vote late for very legitimate reasons. The actually issue is held within those that will find a way to scam the system no matter how short the day limit is.
These people, the ones that are actually the problem, can only be rooted out by sharing a blacklist across all bots like we are already doing. This is far less work and much more feasible in the long run.
Also, giving into a thief and a tyrant that comes to this site hurting people and making demands is precisely how the people of the world have given away their freedom time and time again. Allowing a piece of shit to do this to us will open a gateway for even more ridiculous demands from people that simply have a lot of money and like to watch people squirm.
this worthless cat is taking rewards from innocent people then upvoting himself heavily. That is outright stealing and should honestly be punished harshly. This behavior is illegal in every part of the world.
This is a decentralized community and if we plan to keep it that way then we have to stand up to this type of blatant tyranny.
I plan to make a post that covers everything I feel about this situation and I've even started it. I am at a huge event and have barely had time to write replies but I've planned to finish it as soon as I can.
Thank you for the detailed response.
Whilst i understand your view with regards to @grumpycat, and agree that he needs more help with flagging abuse
I feel this would not happen if you changed your policy to 3.5 days.
We have 100s of new users each day, who cannot possibly expect to see the previous warnings issued.
The way to help these innocent people would be to stop them from making a bid which could lead to a flag.
It is for this reason that I asked, and think you (and all other bots out of the 3.5 range) reconsider your policy.
Thanks
Asher
The minute that we allow ourselves to bend our wills to a tyrant like him, we are opening the gateway for others that have a lot of money to come here and make any ridiculous set of demands they wish. Anything.
I have another plan that does not involve giving up anyone's freedom or living in fear.
Ok. I was told the same by another bot owner before they made the change.
I look forward to your alternative plan.
So is it in your view OK for grumpycat to downvote what it considers non valuable content and at the same time reward itself by over $90 by spamming the post with that stupid cat image and a dumb explanation?
No I did not say that.
Please re-read the thread.

Just make them original and your own work, not copied from someone elses. you will be fine.
Hello @michaeldavid man, how are you. You are not writing inspirational messages anymore?
I have not done the inspirations for quite a while.
I am now doing community discussions about steemit and it's issues
Look for more of those tomorrow or next day. :)
Ohh, good to hear that michael, I always visit your blog just to see if you have new post. Guess you haven't posted anything yet since last month. I'll watch out for your post tomorrow. I hope you could visit my page too, I am practicing to inspire people like you through writing and sharing my experience in steemit and on how I become who I am today:)
Just to your attention, please @sneaky-ninja Two of my posts got hit by grumpycat on the plea that I paid you for an Upvote service. It wasn't late at all and I do not see any reason to be flagged just because grumpycat thinks of sneaky-ninja being irresponsible by not complying to the set rules. Please you need to protect your customers lest you loose them forever at the end of the day.
To be more specific this is what grumpycat is highlighting.
The mockery is a single line being upvoted @89 whereas a genuine effort being ruined just of the grudges @sneaky-ninja What is going on here, all pity flagging without any valid reason.
I know what he is doing. Let me be clear. There are not now, nor were there ever, nor will theere ever be a set of rules that matches what this dick is telling everyone. He is simply a thief and is stealing from innocent people all while raping the reward pool himself.
He is using fear tactics to try to force the masses to bend to his will. Don't worry, something is being done about it. There are large groups now after this piece of shit for what he is doing. Soon he will be stopped.
In the meantime, know that my bot is not acting in any way irresponsibly. I am acting very well within my means and have not broken any rule or similar. What you are experiencing is simply a rich thief that is using his power to hurt people.
I am out of state for another week. Once I return he will be dealt with.
I hope so and wish so, @sneaky-ninja is one of my most favorite and trusted bot. Unfortunately, this insanity is not positive and let it be stopped with force. How insane is this voting one of his own repeated comment with massive reward and ruining an article worth written having more than 2000 words. It takes hours to scribe unlike jotting down a single stupid line. Thank you for responding, Look forward to you staying and delivering and you've got the support! It means anyone with high SP can set their own rules and start the harassment. Is this how the community platform works. If this continued to happen then am afraid only ghosts and bots be rocking the steemit. Whales have made enough here and now they blocking others to show their presence and dominance. @ned would be aware of it :)
this is all true.
We as smaller fish cannot let it be true anymore. Watch my page for future posts in the next week or two... I think you will be pleased :)
Look forward to it, thank you :)
@Sneaky-ninja, what does it takes a be a part of this?
a part of which part?

trying to keep steemit clean :)
Great job on upvoting copyright abuse and helping it to get to the no. 1 position on the trending page! Thanks to services like yours that upvote content without having a look inside, steemit.com is full of overvalued trash.
https://steemit.com/life/@msteemian/power-packed-20-minute-workout-routine
I was notified about this guy and he was added to the blacklist.
No need to be upset. This type of issue only takes time to rectify. I am actively pursuing ways to help it. In fact as of yesterday I am now also working with steemcleaners for just this reason.
As this post states, if you see people gaining votes that are scammers just let me know and I will blacklist those accounts. :)
Ps. I also removed my vote from his post :)
Awesome!!!
Please excuse my tone though :-) I'm a content creator by myself, and these issues just make me quite upset. You acted in the best way possible and I appreciate that a lot.
So I voted for myself too much? I saw a post recommending that. I had been poisoned and I could not write or comment easily so I watched a post and i dont understand. There should be limits to this so should i get off steemit for a while ? When will the swoosh end
Great post and great idea. Hopefully gimp-cat pulls his head out of his ass and has a clear look around — that mofo could be such an amazing help to this community with a few simple adjustments. Rock on!
