I am going to reveal about two accounts that abused and attempted to abuse the valuable support received by steemit team.
Six days ago, user @masonoliver was reported for plagiarism and his votes from booming and other curator accounts were removed.
His posts were consist of paragraphs copied directly from Wikipedia and decorated with some photos.
ex:
After few minutes of removing votes, he had edited his posts by removing the paragraphs. After that, the community admin tagged him 'Blacklisted'.
The case was expected to stop by that point but it wasn't like that.
Arrival of @isharaa
New user @ishara appeared one day after the disappearance of @masonoliver .
Why I Say Both Accounts are Handle by the Same Lazy Guy?
On 16th July, @masonoliver edited his self introduction at 9.59 a.m
after 1minute new account @isharaa has posted his self-introduction
Then the second post of @isharaa was My Town in Ten Pics : Wennappuwa - 16/04/2021 which was edited after 2 days to Test Post due to an unknown reason. The content of the edited post gives strong evidence to verify that the same guy behind both accounts.
Check the structure, use of tags, and the watermark of the photograph exactly the same.
Edited Post | Masonoliver's Post |
---|---|
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | ![]() |
![]() | ![]() |
(![]() | ![]() |
It can be okay if the person corrects his mistakes after he realizing them. But what @isharaa did?
Here Comes Goldfish
Goldfish is the main weakness of @isharaa.
First, he created the post with his his @masonoliver account and same time deleted it,
Within few minutes he created it again with @isharaa
Most surprisingly this goldfish article is a copy of https://www.aquacaring.in/2020/09/gold-fish.html . Bypassing community admins and moderator's attention this post has received @booming votes also.
If you want to see what is inside this edited post,
After the comment of @endplagiarism the post is now muted.
Why I am doing this?
This kind of behavior must be stopped here. How many posters can be there that abused the valuable support of community support programs in this way? It is a shame, this user attempted to do the same fraud twice. I don't want to see a similar thing again and next time there will be more critical actions from my end.

Hi @randulakoralage.
I see that the post flagged by @endingplagiarism still has the vote from @booming02's account. Would it be possible to remove that? Or we'll need this one to be visited by @steemcurator01 for the downvote.
