You might be laughing. But I'm having a terrible day thanks to South Asians serial spammers popping up everywhere I go on steemit. Having spent a lot of time in the region I understand what these suckers are getting at it's almost becoming a black mark on the South Asian community. Just check the comments of one of these guys and it leads to a web of similar offenders. I love steemit because it's a place for intelligent discussion and a place to find really amazing valuable people even when I pick a heated argument with them.
Suddenly these suckers come in and ruin the party. Most of them started on November and they are all from the same region with about 1.749 billion or about one fourth of the world's population. That's depressing to me because that is something that can seriously spread.
I'm only here since recently but we had that on SOME social media over the years... can't you block people at this place ?

You can mute them. But that has no effect on their activities. The'd still post garbage and reap from the reward pool. The only viable action is flagging. But you need to keep enough voting power left to vote the good guys. Without whales flagging these accounts, we minnows are pretty much helpless against these spammers.

They can self-upvote and upvote among themselves. It doesn't cost money to flag anyone. Flagging is just the opposite of upvoting.
