We have warned each abuser many times. We usually give a maximum of five warnings but in these cases we have given more warnings. They did not listen to us. A few days ago a post from this account asked them to stop one last time and said that if they don't stop we will blacklist them.
Due to similar activities in the accounts, we suspected each of them to be a specific group doing reward farming. Anyone can see this. However, we have a rule that we do not take steps without proper proof. We found the evidence. We have seen them set beneficiaries up in two accounts and collect the rewards from each account together.
Abusers use this method when a group or individual has many accounts and it is difficult to collect small rewards for each account. They set up the beneficiaries in each account and all the rewards go to that account and then they collect them.
Here, they set @ae-cha and @lapomme as beneficiaries. As I mentioned in the previous post, each post has a photo and a little text. Although that photo is collected from various copyright-free image provider websites.
They are now increasing delegation with the steem earned through reward farming.
We are highlighting each of their accounts and you can visit those accounts if you want, then you will understand the case.
Officially we have decided to blacklist all of them. If they want to appeal, they can do so.
We have come to this decision after giving ample opportunities. We don't want any more reward farming. Thank you.
