Patrice,

I'm so sooorry

My attempt to help actually made your day worse...

I guessed you've had a hard day and indeed it is the case.

BTW: The 5209 accounts I sent you today, are wallet traceback to the leader of the bot NET Meaning the new 3081 new records are confirmed BOT accounts sending the money back home.

I cross checked them:

To appear in that list i sent you:
Any account sending money to the owner must have voted at least in 20 other posts voted by the BOTNET so it contains only BOTs voting in the BOTs posts and sending money back home.

You can safely kill them all... (I know you need to check them because you are serious about doing this job) but trust me I made it in a way that should free your time not add work for you.

patrice (65) · 7 years ago

Oh you don't know how happy that just made me. :) Thanks my friend! I was actually going to chat with you tomorrow before I dug into them to see if that was the case.

That's the reason it took me so long to compile I think it was that query that make the whole network slow today (no i'm joking it was a heavy one but i did it linear to avoid hurting the RPC node, just takes longer to complete...)

Once I have my own witness node (awaiting delivery of the server) I will be able to do more

Such rants are good. I had many post rants in the past.

Steemians have no idea how much hard work "Steemcleaners" do. Sometimes it is more than full time work. I had had no idea before I joined SC myself.

And I'm sorry about stressing you out with PMs :-)
I knew that you were very busy. I know how frustrating it is to be surrounded with loads of notifications, PMs and other distractions that bring chaos to your workload, take the concentration out and drag the day forever.

I have just found out that it is good to completely switch off the Steemit Chat and Discord until certain SC work that does not require chatting is finished (like searching for abuse, investigating, logging etc). Then after the task is done, start dealing with messages.

patrice (65) · 7 years ago

It is good to switch it off at times. It does get distracting! You didn't stress me out. I just thought it was funny that I was getting ready to mute the sound for the night and take @zoee out when you PM'd me.

I think of you often when I write my heartfelt words of gratitude on @steemcleaners. you are performing an incredibly arduous work, most wouldn't want to approach with a ten foot pole.

AGAIN AND AGAIN, THANK YOU for all you are doing for us on this platform, it is beyond most of our understanding yet, highly valuable for us all. You allow for this platform to be more sustainable and to rise with integrity among the digital world.

All for one and one for all! Namaste :)

patrice (65) · 7 years ago

When I have the time to stop in and read the comments on our logs I always appreciate seeing yours there.

stellabelle (75) · 7 years ago

I'm really happy you wrote this. You deserve a lot since without you, Steemit would truly be full of trash!

patrice (65) · 7 years ago

Thank you for the encouragement you have given me to keep going and do more. I will get more organized and start posting at least 4 times a week! :hugs:

First thank you for all the hard work you do and if @stellabelle had not resteemed this I probably would have missed it.

Second I am glad you have @zoee to keep you happy! I love my Max. Now I must pop over and follow @zoee .. Max wants me to set him an account up now.. but not yet, unlike you I know very little about computers and am constantly trying to learn. ❤️ Thanks again and here is a little tip! 1.00 for you for taking the time to share what a day is like for you. Well done..

patrice (65) · 7 years ago

Awe.. Thanks! I love @zoee. I'm so glad my son and daughter-in-law found her. She is wonderful! If you ever want to create an account for Max let me know. I'd be glad to help. There is a great mobile app called @steepshot for taking pictures and posting them directly.

rebeccabe (63) · 7 years ago (edited)

That sounds cool.. I will look at it and let you know if I need help. Hopefully, I don't have to give a phone number. Already used my phone for my account. Thanks for letting me know about this. :) Will look at in the next couple of days. I do not see how you do your job, it seems there always something new.

I just looked whoa I have no clue. I will look more tomorrow..where do I get the app?

I never really thought about people who did the job of cleaning up Steemit till I read @stellabelle's post minutes ago.

I am grateful that they are people like you working round the clock to keep Steemit clean, it is actions of people like you that will truly make Steemit a place of excellence.

In my opinion it is better to ignore negative people, there are people who will complain no matter the amount of good you do. Well done and keep the flag flying.

Well, that was a good read actually to see what some people are up to.

I actually thought you were a dude TBH, honestly LOL!!!

IDK much about you, but found out reading posts months ago you were helping with all this spammy crap and likely --- that is why I do not know much about you.

Because you are too busy DOING the stuff to help out here, and we do not know you.

I know the work you guys do, like this, even with all of us flagging content burning thru time and vote power is unrewarded largely --

So I guess I want to say thanks to you, also.

lol. Common misconception. I had a childhood friend that couldn't say Patricia. When I needed a pseudonym I thought it was a good one. I didn't realize that while unisex it is mostly used by guys.

You're welcome! Thanks for the support.

It is a good one.

I played hockey in HS with a friend whose sister was named Patrice, she was an older women by a year or 2.

We were sort of an item, a little bit.

so now I know another Patrice who is a female.

In Canadastan here, Patrice is a very common name for dudes, mostly in the PQ / French areas, not that I am in one.

I do appreciate your work, thanks again ---- I am sick of warning and flagging people and checking accts first to be fair, it is wasting a lot of time and resources my friend.

But I am fair.

It's amazing the amount of abuse we wade through everyday. Just when I think I've seen it all something new crops up!

Every now and then a good healthy almost rant like yours clears the air. People forget that steemit is a user driven platform pretty much, hands of approach from any sort of management. An Anarchy test field so to speak. I appreciate what you, anyx, steemcleaners and @cheetah do on a regular basis. So here is my thank you: Thank you you do good work.

Thank you for everything you are doing @patrice! Your work is highly appreciated and I will defend you in the comments section every time I can 😉

I too am sorry for pestering you with all this scammed user stuff. You were already helping in exactly the right way, while I was still wrapping my head around what exactly is going on.

Posts like this give SC a face and a pretty good one at that 😊 in the end there will always be people complaining, don't let that stop us 😎

patrice (65) · 7 years ago

You're not pestering me! With the exception of certain members I don't mind the mentions in chat. I've learned that 'block user' is a handy tool. I've also learned how to live with users that type frequent short sentences one right after the other. I just wait until 30 seconds after the last notification to see what they have to say! lol

I appreciate the help and support you've given me. It's great working with you.

@stellabelle was the one who made me aware of your work through her posts and resteems and I really want to say:

THANK YOU!!!!!

There are many users who have zero idea of what you do for the platform. Your continued effort and drive to make this a better place for all seems to not get as much attention as it should. All I ask is that you make sure to take time for yourself and don't burn out. The work you do is important, needed, and very undervalued by many in the community so I hope that more exposure will bring more support for you.
