People are becoming desperate around here. After paying for votes now you can pay to be resteemed by a minnow by the name of @joanaltres
At least when you pay for a vote you get your investment back. This steeminan is flooding the blockchain by asking for 2 SBD just to be featured on his feed. I really want to hear your thoughts on this. I want to see will you defend this behavior this time. Should we flag or just let it go like all the other spam, bots, and corruption going along lately?
We should flag, and add captchas to Steemit to prevent more abuses.
A dynamic system based on reputation that limits actions . When a limit is reached in a certain period of time, a cooling time that can be dismissed by completing a captcha would be triggered. The higher the reputation the less restrictive is that limit. Replies to mentions should not be affected by that rule, allowing bots that answer comments.

Thanks, I have wrote two articles about that, I hope they get a good more visibility
PS: I have checked @iamgrootbot and now the bot works in a different way, it does not spam anymore.

I never saw the person as a spammer to be honest. Even though his acts may have seemed like such at first, his personality seemed pretty harmless :) Shame, he's a good guy. He even did like a translation thing, unlike @ionlysaymeep who literally just spams, he was alright it my opinion :P Was just trying to lighten up the mood haha.

I guess this is a symptom of having a block-chain with no transaction fees, in most chains to spam costs the spammer. I think we need to do more with reputation, it should be on the steemit chain and have much more effect on what you can do as a user, low reputation should impact bandwidth and reduce downvote power.

Here's my thoughts.
First of all, it's clear that the resteems simply do not work lol. About a week ago, his service was 10 SBD, then dropped to 4 SBD, and now 2 SBD.
I actually tried it the other day for 4 SBD.. Biggest scam of my life lol.
Secondly, at the time they had like 9000 followers, but up until today, he/she never posts their own content. There is no proof that the followers are legit.
I think anyone has the right to have whatever service they would like on this platform. If they want to charge money for resteems, I don't see a problem..
The problem comes in when they start spamming the same stupid message 4x over again, to 5000+ people at a time! That is not cool, and he should be flagged. No doubt. That's a pure invasion of everyone privacy.
Furthermore, the fact that he/she undoubtedly claims that the resteems do better than promoting the post.. And that all the followers are legit and active, etc. That's purely a lie. A huge scam, and he should definitely be punished.
Again, I don't have a problem when people have there own services, no matter the ROI or price.. But there's a little grey-area for that. And this person has definitely come-out of that grey area!
Just my point of view. Let me know your thoughts brother. Talk soon.

Having services on top of Steem is a wonderful thing, as long as it's not hurting the ecosystem. I agree with you that there's nothing wrong running a service, but with all the spamming it just ruins it.

I think that the person sending it out owns both accounts(there are 2 accounts mentioned in the multiple messages). He/she must be also knowing about the spam problem on Steemit - and hence should have refrained sending out a mass message with a 0.001 payout.
Not only is it spammy, but it feels insulting to receive a message with 0.001 SBD - almost feels like you're being given 0.001 for reading the message. It is not 0.01 SBD as someone mentioned in another comment.
You can't miss a message that accompanies a payment coming into your wallet. A very clever use of the feature which can only be exploited by spammers. So spammer it is - not cool!
I hope it is not the first few of a new trend of spam messages coming through the wallet.

I was considering flagging too. Lol then I thought you're paying me to read your request to pay you to resteem me um, wait... This is just silly...
I believe certain things should only be allowed based upon a users reputation on the platform...

I dont think so you should flag. That person was featured by stellabelle recently and is a woman. i think it is just an innocent initiative and perhaps, the person is just watching events on steemit and seeing there likely is a way to incentivize her high number of followers. i will try to reach her about it. i have never talked to her before but i know she can be reached because i have seen her on steemit since months back. left to me, in general i dont see anything wrong with her innovation and i would use it, since there can be dividend. Not every dividend has to be in the form of sbds. moreover, she states, ,she will look at the type of post before resteem, according to what i saw in my wallet message. ofcourse that is the first time, a memo from her. if i can reach her though, i will advice her only to use that memo to aquaintances as not everyone will welcome it or perhaps do a post about it. Since you asking for thoughts, i leave you my thoughts. stellabelle a post featuring an interview with her recently

I thought of flagging initially for a brief moment before I thought... hey, she's paying me to basically read her initiative...
And I suppose if there are people who wish to use her services... To each their own.

I feel like I am stuck on repeat...if you think people are just not "getting desperate" I can only say uhhhhh....no.
Here is the thing, for the several millionth time, not everyone knows how to handle themselves around money. And second, there is nothing wrong with being a capitalist. Certain folks can resteem a post and it gets noticed by folks that would not have seen it before.
True desperation are the folks that are stealing content and making multiple accounts to run their pennies up. We need better black boxes...sorry, I love that this place is about say anything, but we need a better way to control the spam and the true desperation.

Recently @sherlock holmes entered our lives . I deliberately broke that into 2 words as I don't want to evoke his presence frivolously . Maybe he is the correct route to approach ? Flagging seems so rude and blunt .

I highly doubt a pay-for-resteem scheme could work for anybody unless it was sponsored high-end accounts only...
As soon as you resteem more than 1-2 posts per day, your impact on each post goes down. By the time an account accepted 10+ resteem requests per day, they'd be offering no value.

Also people sending out $0.01 SBD to "direct message" is usually annoying.
