It Goes without Saying...
Spam has no place on the Steem blockchain. I've dealt with it ever since I created my account here but now I plan to do something about it. If you spam my posts, or any posts really, I have a downvote bot that will counter your efforts. But wait, there's more!!..
Thanks to @chekohler's comment below, I've decided to create a community bot which will monitor and flag comments from know spam accounts. Give me a little time to put this together, but shouldn't take long. I'll post an update as soon as it's available.
And for those of you who still want to spam posts, it's really not worth it. If you think it's a good idea to leave random comments on a post just because the author (me, for instance) will gain you viewership, then you have another thing coming. You will receive flags on your account and your posts will no longer be visible.
So please don't even try it!
Gosh I hate spam and @fatimaah spammed my posts too and I downvotes it! My question is how do I also get in on having this bot flag spammers in my posts? Is their a way to subscribe to be procteced or submit accounts to be watched by the bot?

You just sparked a whole nother idea, my friend. :) I think that's a great idea. Let me see what I can do, but would be cool to create a community bot that anybody can use if they bring forth a valid reason for the bot to monitor an account. Stay tuned..

Hey @fatimaah, could you shoot me a message on steem.chat. If you can show me some proof of your account getting hacked (and recovered) then I will gladly provide you with an upvote to push your rep back up.

I’m with you on this one. The less spam the better. I remember when I used to spam links in Facebook groups years ago because that is what others were doing to get results. In the end, it is only building honest and meaningful relationships with others that counts.

The spam is bad enough, but links to phishing sites to steal your hard-earned STEEM? This must be stopped. @ironshield

You have not mentioned about upvotes here bro. I have just upvoted you, will this go in spam folder too :p and also tell us what do you think about plagiarism and are you warming up your bot for this action?

I honestly never understood the concept of spamming on this platform. It really does not help anyone nor does it help the blockchain. Great initiative!

hey @brandonfrye that's a good initiative spamming has become a big problem here on steemit but i guess you should also inform some of your followers about what exactly spamming means so they won't do that

Spamming should be self-explanatory by this point. I'm really trying to think of an exception.. but there isn't one. So if anyone tries it, their account will be reduced to nothing.

@brandonfrye really spam us a big issue. There must be a bot or anything which can identify the spam and block it. Because this platform is not for the spammers.

I think it is because you have a higher rep score. I really don't get too much spam on steemit. When I do ... my tact is just to ignore it. I liken spammers to flies trying to escape through a closed window ... just and unpleasant hum in the background. Scammers on the other hand ... go get those guys.
