We will never get rid of that problem as long as they can fish money out of the pool.
Yes, they not only steal other people's work, but they also steal from our rewards pool with STEEM and SBD from our Steem Blockhcain when they get upvote
They are cunning and very skilled at cheating us. They repeatedly trick us. Some operate with multiple accounts and some work in groups and several of them use bidbots. When they use bidsbot, they quickly get a good reputation and we are then misled by seeing a good reputation.
I have tracked several accounts with transfer to Bittrex Wallet. Some of them use Bittrex to send steem back to accounts in steem so that we do not directly see that they have a connection with each other.
They also make sure that they have a certain amount of SP because then we think that everything is fine when we check them up.
In my local community, together with my moderators, we have a separate channel "abuse-reports" where we discuss what to do with plagiarism, spammers, farmers and scammers when we find it.
Many hours a week are spent checking photos and content and tracking accounts that are connected to each other.
Today we have many local communities on Steemit that are growing with the number of users and with the number of new users also increases the problem we have with plagiarism, spammers, farmers and scammers.
I'm sure the moderates in all the local communities and Steemit are working hard to keep the problem down.
We all need to talk together "THE STEEMIT TEAM and @steemcurator01" and the whole community to find solutions so we can limit the problem.
I have been flagging spammers for the past couple of weeks when i see them, scammy spamming accounts have increased 10 fold in the past month on steemit.
I have limited downvoting power and wish i had more to flag.
What would be good is a place where we can report them, then have a daily report showing these dodgy accounts which we can start to flag.

It will take time, but major influencers need to step up and start downvoting the spammers as well. Those with the biggest stake have the biggest influence. Let whales know!

We do not see all the importance of this topic because many of us busy with their own blogging and on and off we see one or another abuser, but that is in reality only the iceberg that we see above the water.
If we start to dig and check, I would not be surprise how many such cases will appear.
I completely agree with you there should be some mechanism incorporated into Steem, that would keep an eye and possible when user could report such cases and they could be investigated but also those ones could be then taught a lesson. I am pretty sure that if there is a minor problem adn user has changed his attitude then he should not have any trouble anymore.
But what we have now it is like a country without police, where the people are doing what they want, we need soem rules and people should follow only then it will function.

It would be really great to get rid of all those. I, too, have noticed how many more spammers we've been getting over the past 3-4 weeks... all of those "nonsense" posts with endless links to pay-per-view sporting events. It makes Steem look really BAD to someone who's just passing by and checking out our community for the first time.

Hello @xpilar, this is a really important topic.
In the Project Hope community we are also making a big effort to stop them.
Weekly we silence many posts that are clear cases of plagiarism.
But, many times they are very clever, make some modifications, paraphrase what they copy to try to confuse. It's a complex job, because it involves spending time reading, comparing different texts. It really is a job. But as @stef1 says, we must all be guardians. I find it difficult for any of us to just verify that all the publications in all the communities are original. But if every moderator and even every honest user does their part, this bad habit of some who take advantage of plagiarism could be diminished by a lot.
Some way to engage the efforts of those who find these plagiarizing users could be an excellent tool. I agree.

Hi @josevas217
Yes, we just have to keep working towards it.
But we should have better tools so that we can all report abuse and that the list becomes available to everyone

Being aware of the problem and trying to control it is already a way to solve it. Eliminating it completely looks very difficult because the platform is growing and among respectable users, some that are not will grow.

Actually its to clarify from my country side that you would have heard that here cryptocurrency is ban in Pakistan but we Pakistani people want legalize crypto as well But due to bad politician's politics and govt tax which they get from banking isn't legalizing however our popular media person Waqar Zaka has placed a case in supreme court and we are wishing to get legalize.
So the problem is that we have limmited exchangers so mostly people contact those However i am just here to clarify that in the future if any scammer exchanges with the same person i do i personally assure you i wont be having any contact with them.
however i am always against plagiarism as it stops the thinking of human itself.

Plagiarism, spammers, farmers and scammers are common enemies that must be eliminated on this platform. They are very creative and sneaky in stealing other people's accounts.
This post is a warning to all. I think there must be a system that can detect the three evil practices quickly, precisely, and measurably by providing severe punishment.

Hola como esta @xpilar estoy de acuerdo con esto de detener el plagio y estafadores porque son personas maliciosas que quieren hacer daño y beneficiarse con el trabajo de otras personas, hay que detenerlos ya nosotros pasamos por eso y nos molesto mucho a parte de que publicaba nuestro trabajo en otra plataforma beneficiándose. Debemos ser vigilante de estas irregularidades y ser muy observadores. Muy importante el tema que desarrollo en este post.
