Over 20K Spam Comments in 24 Hrs ... quite the legacy.. Are you done yet?

in blog •  6 years ago  (edited)

What we do on blockchain echoes for eternity...


798508B1-4BDA-4525-BC18-9C8A3498831A.png

Everything we do here is forever, as the blockchain is forever.. and will be connected to our names... forever... every comment, every vote, every photo, every post.. all of it.



I guess that is why many like @fulltimegeek, use alt accounts like @animalcontrol and @exterminator to hide behind..

totaling over 20k spam comments in a 24hr time period.. just spamming the comments of people he doesn’t like..

blockchain bloat must not be a problem anymore

So many spam comments that it’s actually crashing posts and making them impossible to open

7,382 comments on a recent @themarkymark post

1,676 on a recent @whatsup post


Not just those he’s flagging though, oh no.. the spam follows them everywhere..

If they try to comment on a post, this happens..

“But he did it first!!”



We all know #4 on the list, @berniesanders... seems he’s been dethroned as king of spam.. but still impressive with 1800 in a 24 hour timeframe. Who is spamming in response to ftg’s spamming/flagging 😐

He may have actually crashed the first post ever with spam.. so I guess he still has that title.

But seriously...

Are you guys done yet?

If my posts were the only thing effected, then fine.. as I haven’t complained about the over 700 damn flags I’ve received from fulltimegeek in the last week.... but this is now effecting the whole platform.

So, the complaint is that he did it first at some point, so you do it more ... and pull innocent people into your game @fulltimegeek? Blood feud much?

I know your group is cheering you on.. but you all seem like you forgot what you were fighting 🤔

Let’s take a look at you and your groups recent actions...


  • Flagging innocent people for difference of opinion

  • Harassing people with vulgar and inappropriate comments

  • Bullying people

  • Spamming the blockchain ✅✅✅

But he started it...


Nah, not this time... you did...

Truce was on the table, and even though @fulltimegeek refused to agree... @berniesanders abided by it until recently.

Right, recently... when you started flagging everyone who had a different opinion then you, me included.



No, I’m really not and neither is anyone else.

Well except the trolls who get upvoted and make money only when there is a fight.. which is why they fuel the fires and start them, only time they get upvotes. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

I will say that this is a good test for the system and forces us to take a look at user experience. Hopefully this will result in some changes where users can customize their experience as well as help to avoid the few from ruining things for the many... but...

Should be fun to look back at the blockchain in a few years and try to explain shit like this.. or better yet, explain it currently to new users and businesses.


So, are you guys done yet?

@fulltimegeek when he realized his flags are useless (notice is never ends)

Your spam doesn’t make his go away...

Neither does this post.

Probably true

  ·  6 years ago Reveal Comment

Downvoted for being an annoying fly who offers nothing to the discussion. Seems I’ve not been using my downvotes correctly...

Nah. You know im right but you just cant backtrack now. lol

Youre seriously going for the flag here? I thought the Illuminati guy or the folks calling you evil or whatnot would be a more deserving target. :D
All i did was make fun of this stupid crap. You dissapointed me LL. I am hurt in the heart. :(

Never tried to backtrack, as I’ve stated repeatedly my actions are on this chain for anyone to see.

Sure they are deserving of flags, but their brain has been manipulated and I give them a bit of slack.. I probably won’t going forward. Why curate when I can flag trolls? 🤷🏻‍♀️

You on the other hand.. well yeah, you disappoint me too.

Do you hate all spam... Or only his?

Do you support this:

21PRtjKRXPQybj4WUXScWv5QPLninWRxfbcWNsx7SenD7FnTvhqcfYV5SPxJDRznhY3pMe1ftNe41vzYwE4AzK7Tn1dwn8e5h9mbyY16tPjXwFhbf8FqYCiB9J98QyrS3fhn2bFYnnP8Jm7Qftb4dDg.png

I am personally done with the spam but can we stop and not act like this all on one side?

This is a response to some dishonorable actions that is allowed by groups of people with SP.

My honest question to you is: do you support people being downvoted on opinions? Is that what you support?

Edit: I honestly am seeking discussion. I have been a bad boy and I apologize. Ive been slapped and reformed.

But to sit back and play the pr game to gain support is truly disingenuous in my opinion.

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

Man that was quick,

I did address both sides and have every single time in the past. Did you read anything?

I have never supported people being flagged for personal reasons, but also think flags are fair. One flag doesn’t really do much unless you take that flag and join a blood war because of it.

I’ve fought many times to remove and counter unjust flags.. just because I didn’t make a post about it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

With that being said, I fully support the flagging of trolls who want to do nothing but cause issues and get attention.. I also support flagging comments of trolls that are harassing people and are upvoted to over $1 by someone to thank them for doing his dirty work..

I fully support flags, but have never supported abuse of them.



I feel no need to argue who is worse, as my opinions have been made clear and I think both are wrong.

Truce was on the table, spam stopped.. I guess that was no fun for some people though.

I’m not making it about a side, I’m saying it needs to stop.

but to sit back and play the pr game to gain support

No clue what you are talking about.. must be a rumor you guys are running with.

I’d get way more support if I didn’t bring up these issues, and just posted and sucked up to everyone.. Maybe you guys should try a different angle.

"You guys" what are you talking about?

I got into this because a friend of mine with cancer was mocked.

Evidently that makes me a stooge?

I thought you wanted to have an adult conversation? I responded in an adult way.. you have now ignored everything I stated and are focusing on my response to your insult stating I do things to grow my SP.

Eric, my actions say everything.. no matter how much it’s tried to be twisted. I’ve been pretty clear on not approving of the harassment of others.. I’ve chosen to deal with it differently than you. If that makes me a stooge, fair enough.

Have a good day... you missed the point of this entirely and I’m sure that will be a common theme...

Lol I am on a phone and was also replying to Bernie at the same moment.

Oh well. I wish you the best.

Keep upvoting smidge... shows you have no interest in a discussion.

Feel free to read back through my post and comments here if you actually want to discuss anything.

Oh! I also have a 100steem bounty out to anyone who can find this disgusting behavior I’ve apparently done that a certain group keeps talking about.. for anyone interested!

I have interest in discussion.

But your comments dripping in attitude and condescension is really insufferable.

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

I apologize, normally when one comes initially with insults and misinformation, getting attitude in return is common.

My points are clear here, I explained my reasoning on things and I am open to discuss.

I’ve just said the spam is getting a bit much as it’s effecting innocent people who are not involved and maybe it’s time to tone it back a bit. That’s it.

OOOh, mocking someone who spends their entire life doing exactly that? Pull your head out of your ass. Snowflake.

The "flag a person for discussing" is exactly what I am talking about.

Playing the game... Silencing dissent... Supporting the echo chamber.

Youre literally proving my point.

You pushed so many people away for what....

To make the blockchain better?

By lessening the user base to increase your holding?

Dishonorable.

@llfarms this is the dishonorable people you support?

At least your sp is growing huh?

Dishonorable.

Call it what you will. It's my SP to use how I want. When you attempt to use me as an example, you're going to get flagged, a lot.

Yes, many accept all the trash here that don't get to spew their bullshit over popular platforms. That doesn't mean I have to.

I have been wrestling with a lot of this.

You have absolutely said some terrible things to some people.

At the same time I see you helping people.

So I am conflicted. Do is it really just an attempt to prevent certain people from gaining a stronghold on this blockchain or is it all a type A personality need to be the king of the hill?

I guess you'll just have to wait and see. I never considered myself to be the king of the hill, although I do love that show, always gives me a good chuckle.

Im no doctor but I definitely notice a "type A" need to dominate on here.

That attitude towards people have caused many, many people to leave this blockchain.

Now in your head is that a good thing?

During the DLive drama you downvoted a bunch of people for expressing their opinion, I was one of them.

I said there were a lot of people that was on steem because of dlive and most people there didnt know what a witness was.

I attempted to retain them, I tried to get them to see the value. Your downvotes spoke for the blockchain. When I try to get people to come back the most mentioned thing was the ability for people like you to silence them for opinions.

Not for spam. Not for low-valued content.... You and opinion-based downvoting.

Maybe that is a badge of honor to you but to me and to most people on the blockchain (that are scared to say anything) you are a liability here in these instances, not an asset.

But honestly? I think that is what makes you tick.

You are seeking satisfaction but what I think you would be better off seeking is serenity.

If I'm a type A, does that make you a little cuck bitch? Just curious.

How many Steem have you purchased?

Yes, I've driven away plenty of trash who IMO did nothing for Steem. There's nothing you can say that's going to make me feel guilty about that.

If there are only two types of people in the world then perhaps.

I dont throw out type A as an insult, most productive people are.

I obviously have not purchased as much as you (and when it was over 7 towards the start).

But I bought in whe I first got in crypto, never powered down, and during the dlive days donated much of my liquid proceeds to streamers.

NOTHING...is forever. This too shall be forgotten.

Kind of like his witness?

Ok... but you realize things are actually forever on the blockchain right? Which was the point here. The spam is dumb and we can’t make it go away after it’s here, so we would be better off to stop it.

Yeah, my way of thought is more UNIVERSAL. This too shall pass...Do and put in what energy you will...in 100 years , no one will remember.

He is too much of a man child to see he has done anything wrong.

Take away the man... This is just childish and nothing like any intelligent man would do... En plus, to me, everybody actively involved in these stories is just behaving like an insensible idiot. But we all know them from all around the world, it's not just here on steem... It may is the time to ask oneself if all this harassment is not against the "terms of service" of @steemit, bullying is illegal in Europe, isn't it in the US?

Is it just me, or is Steemit editing out the blatant spamming now? I’ve checked out a couple affected posts just now and see only normal conversation and none of the usual overwhelmed comment post crashes.
Even here I see about 40 comments vs. the 257 the comment counter currently shows logged. If Steemit Inc. is adding a spam filter to clean up their front end, I’m totally fine with that though I’m sure some users will cry censorship!

Yes, I noticed it was looking different as well.. I think they are possibly playing with the front end.

All other front ends have customized features to improve user experience, so I don’t see why Steemit doing so should cause an uproar, but I’m sure someone would have a problem with it.

I mean.. we have people here who think a flag is stealing money and a criminal offense... so, yeah. I for one would also be glad to see a bit of customization on the UI side. Hope it happens!
