I don't see what the problem is, mrron's been a lucky contributor to find the votes. Pulling the race card was stupid of him but he doesn't deserve a witchhunt for success. He's not done anything wrong.

STEEM WHISTLEBLOWER: Whale Bots Are Devaluing STEEM!
Many, many posts on this forum have similar characteristics, including content that might summarize (but not copy) what is written elsewhere, and the window dressing of copyright-free images.
Why haven't these other authors been targeted?
I agree with @mrron that it likely has something to do with his presumed Pakistani heritage. There is a tremendous bias against people from Islamic regions in the media, and consciously or not many people have succumbed to media conditioning and racial bias.

Nope. I don't care where he is from.
If you read my post you'd see that @mrron was merely a tipping point. I know there are countless other low value / high payout posts that exist on the site.
I hate no person of any race, religion, sexuality and more or less than any other. That is foolish old fashioned thought and those that fall back on the race card generally don't have an intelligent rebuttal.
It's been HOURS. @mrron could have easily done a doodle and verified himself and turned this entire article into a happy tale with an apology from myself and more upvotes raining on his work... Sadly this is not the case and the whole "klye hates indians and islamic folks" thing simply doesn't hold up here.

If he is in Pakistan and you are in Canada there is a 10 hour time difference there.
Seriously, you are claiming he is a scammer because he is asleep? What was that about not caring where someone was from? It clearly does matter to you that he is from a different part of the world.
I had a look at some of his posts. They're blah, but better than the tripe that dollarvigilante and some others post. And don't get me started on the secret-writer stuff - I'm in my 40's and have met a fair range of people and none live lives like that , it's likely all fiction. Just like the series of rape stories we got in June that got investigated and turned out to be completely fake but were upvoted to $$$$$s. On that scale, mrron is fairly harmless and benign.

The point is, we have no idea where this user is from, that they are even real people or anything of the sort.
I get you trying to explain the situation out as you perceive it. That is all this post is for myself at the end of the day.
Seem's the developer of steemit agreed with my whistle. So I'm not sure if I feel like a bad guy here or a needed messenger. :/

I understand why you might think that, but there is absolutely no way this is due to being from Pakistan. Most wouldn't know Mrron from the Moon if it were not for people bringing it up after the fact.
I've been here since July 11th or so, something like that, and I've been fighting this sort of thing since then and I know many others are color-blind when it comes to dealing with stuff like this. Racism? Please.
We can't catch every user doing the same thing, we tend to go after those making the most rewards for obvious reasons.
Anyway, since you obviously know there are many many posts on this forum that have similar characteristics, you must feel that what is being done is ok, right? So there is no excuse for yourself. Saying others do the same thing is no excuse.
I swear, it's the same thing again and again. Users making bad excuses so that people can justify what they know to be improper behavior. Money is that important isn't it?
