Why Do @spaminator // @steemcleaners Let @berniesanders' Spam & Harassment Slide?

in spam •  6 years ago 

It’s a long story but basically FTG was posting 16,000 times a day with an account, I blacklisted it and later he tried to promote a post for 400 Steem to which my blacklist denied 60 Steem of on my bot. The post was a single link to a third party site and that’s it.

He removed his witness vote and I asked him why. He said I blacklisted his account and demanded a refund and said he was going to perm flag me.

He flagged all my comments hidden for a month using 100 bots and after a while I decided to create a bot that deleted and recreated my comments whenever he hid them.

His response was to post 35,000 comments spamming my comments and posts and anyone who speaks up about it. The average daily comment volune was 33,000 comments a day prior and reached 69,000 with his spam.

A fix has been made to prevent spam at those levels from impacting the user experience or being displayed in the front end.

And that’s where we are today. FTG has the posting keys of many of his followers and uses them to flag me and others and upvote trolls.

    Thanks for tbe reply ~ but wow...... that's also disappointing.

    We have an ocean of other platforms competing with this one, so the best way to flop it would be to have all the users fighting against one another.

    I also thought FTG was some one worth connecting with, but it sounds like the power of witness is creating the same crap division in yet another system.

    Bots have ruined the internet...
    While they can be so helpful, its unfortunate they've spammed up every social media site these days.
