It's time to change pace a little bit and have some fun! If you are involved in the anti-abuse efforts on the blockchain, you will probably understand what I am getting at. I will have more time during my time off work to bring you some other exciting ways people come up to make Steemit less pleasant for everyone.
I have used the following templates and captioned these memes:
1. We are all just waiting for the next wave
2. There exists bid bots that vote on anything
3. Them silly justifications
4. What probably (or not) goes on in abusers' minds
5. How abusers think they are clever
6. Not enough VP to deal with a lot of times...
7. 20 flags later...
I think these seven memes have touched bases with my experience traversing through entities such as @steemcleaners, @steemflagrewards, @sadkitten, etc. While I believe in the mission of fighting abuse, I also realistically recognize that it is not the long-term solution to the issues we deal with daily.
Ideally, these communities come up with containment strategies while the Witnesses, and even STINC, come up with changes that could limit the observed abuses.
In the meantime, I will continue to spend time with these communities and chuckle at the all so common excuses such as this guy:
I laugh. Then, I die a little inside. Then, I laugh again because it's just all so absurd.
Abuse Series is a log of my journey through the blockchain as I witness various Steemians' naughty behaviors.

Please laugh less. Because if you laugh and then laugh and laugh ....

What I don't understand, is that this wonderful platform brings to all the people so much possibilities in expressing yourself, opening your heart, showing people who you really are, sharing it, learning so much interesting things that when they start to copy past the things from web here I feel so miserable as if I was lying on the beach, enjoying the sun, and in the next moment there would appear people in different crazy anime and other strange costumes and would start to come with different authors books and start reading from these books loudly about quantum theory, president drill, about stock sock, and other things that I can learn and read if I want to. I would better prefer to see them naked instead of performing those actions in stolen costumes reading the books they never wrote)). Like this current message of mine - I read it and I don't understand it))) But it's mine for sure, so if I wrote that kind of text, than I know that some part of myself (maybe the most complicated) has just been expressed, so I feel relieved again, laying back on the sun and enjoying the sunlight)) Thank you @enforcer48 for your constant efforts in making this beach clean.

I can't help but chuckled after reading some of those excuses. I don't understand why they even bother to reason when they know themselves that their works are plagiarized.
