Let's repeat some lessons about flagging (the ugly truth about YOU)

in steemit •  7 years ago 

@imranroza, I will not follow you!

On 5 of my 8 last posts I see your comment, simply asking me to upvote you! And you haven't said anything about my post, on which you just commented, you didn't upvote it, you are just harassing me every day and I beg you to stop.

Same for @shaivpidadi, @exortis, @muarju and many other guys who really won't read any words from your post, but they will ask you to follow them without any shame!

And where should I follow you???

Should I do same thing you do?? Because, that would mean that I follow you!
So I checked their blogs, as I always do, and found really slim material made of few words, but when you take a look at their comments, you find this:

So, this is what this guy does!

Somehow, he manages to write a single one comment on English and pastes it - EVERYWHERE! He doesn't read those posts at all!

And this one is my favorite comment:

Once, we all had dignity!

We deserved our followers with hard work and not by being intrusive!

Now, let's repeat what flagging means:

I consider these problems are internet trolling and spamming in the same time and it is totally justifiable to flag those things! These guys are not part of our community and they will not have any significant future on Steemit!

Otherwise, there are users who will comment on your post, and you see by that comment that they read your post but they didn't upvote you! I don't consider them trolls or spammers, so I will not flag them, but I have to list some names to warn you: @irfanbocor, @millionairemark, @hauntedbrain and many others, please complete my list in the comments, if you like! Thank you!

This post have been Resteem
@dumar022 , Permission to land my post link.
https://steemit.com/copynpaste/@bullionstackers/warning-to-all-authors-that-simply-copy-n-paste

I can help by listing their names in posts like this

I definitely agree with you.

Thanks

Thank you for posting @ dumar022.

Appreciate the information and research you have done concerning these spammers.

If a comment does not relate to the author's post......in bleujay's opinion it is spam......spamming the post with their agenda.

@ace108 has written a couple of posts regarding this issue.....discovering bots....spammers....and bot spammers.

Now for solutions written into the next HF and witnesses to step up and give solutions to this issue that is reaching a saturation point of disturbance on Steemit.

Wishing you and yours all the best. Cheers.

Thank you, @bleujay! Cheers

I have a question my friend ..
If I have a lot of votes for one post, like 80 vote or more
The list of users show only around 20 users
My question is how can I display all of them to check who voted the post to can go back and support them !!

Use steemstats.com to check all who voted your post;)

Thank you

I agree fully with you
Thanks for sharing and warning
Keep the good work

Thank you!!!

Flagging is new to me, but this posts made me realize that upvoting is not the only way to control content. I have noticed the presence of spammers and I was wondering how to deal with it. Flagging is now in my radar. Thanks!

That sux to get that on a constant basis. Hopefully there will be a good way to put these guys to an end. In any case Steem on!

Thanks

From my point of view this are not really members of our community and don't bring nothing positive to the platform. Just imagine for a secound a new member that just finish his first blog here and then receive this kind of comments... what it will be his/hers impression about our community. But on the long run all this users will abandon their accounts because they are just after the wrong concept of Steemit been a gold mine of free money. Our community is build on creativity, original content and the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy what you are doing here and the rest will follow... so i hope very soon all this "users" will leave us alone! Steem on because you enjoy do it not for the financial reward!

Exactly! Thank you, you even said some things that I wanted but missed

The only reason for flagging is if someone threatens my life. I'd rather ignore the rude people and focus on my supporters and those I support. Energy flows better that way. I don't know you but I am upvoting because your post caught my eye and I appreciate your passion. However, focusing on those who will help us rather than wasting our good energy on people who seem to ruffle our feathers and drain us is a wise way to blow off negative steem. Best wishes on your steem journey.

Amen sweet sister @sacka ! This micro-management is very draining - senseless to spin wheels trying to root out an issue that is universally systemic in any open social platform. I will focus on loving, positive vibes among all! Those who only post follow requests will ultimately find themselves in the bottom of tha Steemit barrel regardless and by their own hand...

Let's make this place fun and positive!! We can save a little wiggle room for venting and sarcasm! :P And if we have issues or conflicts we should be able to work them out without being rude and derisive. I like your attitude @lanceman !!

I agree with you 100%. Just five days ago I wrote something similar in my blog

Though a pain in the ass I just usually ignore such users. But as you've called them out, I sure hope they'll have a change of heart. Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you for commenting

On the first point I agree totaly with you, but on the second one my opinion is different from yours.
Writting a comment under a post don't have to go necessary with a upvote of the Post.
There are several cases when I do so:

  • When I'm out of VP
  • When I see a failure and want to point it out, but don't find the article good enough to upvote
  • If I see people just linking Youtube Vids, I write them they should write some sentences (min 6) about the Video
  • When I have completly different opinion as the author and I want start a discussion about the topic

There plenty more reasons of doing so but I think this examples are enough

well, of course that you won't upvote something that you don't agree with, and you should comment that. But those are rare, because most things I see are: "great post, thanks for sharing " but without upvote and I listed the names of those guys

These people are hurting the brand. I started posting just as the site was getting popular in May and this sort of nonsense wasn't really around much. Today it's everywhere. Rather than being armed with a downvote, I'd prefer a shotgun or bazooka.

You have absolutely right, this kind of people shouldn't be in steemit, the object is to read each other to share experiences or even silly things. Keep posting. @dumar022

Thanks

Catastrophe, there are too many of them lately!

I can almost taste your anger @dumar022. If you want to lure out more of these misfits, try using the "introduceyourself" tag on one of your next posts. That usually brings out the trolls/trollbots to greet you begging for follows, because they think you're a new user.

Happy hunting!

You are right. I just wonder if they even understand english. Chances are they have no clue what they are doing. still very annoying.

Thank you

Flagging decreases your VP. Ignore or mute. Use your VP on me instead. :) Never argue, like @felixxx once said.

What did you expect? That with the influx of thousands of new people every day this will stay fairy tale land?

Focus on the important stuff. Don't argue with bots.

@dumar022, I'm just amazed at the beauty of where you live. My only real desire to travel has been to the Mediterranean.

If I upvote this post, will you seriously be my tour guide if I find a way over to Croatia? I want to see all of the Mediterranean from Israel to the straight of Gibraltar. Have you ever been to all of the beautiful country I speak of?

I'm sorry about all the spam, but they won't last on Steemit. I wish you an amazing rest and f your day and I woke up thinking about you holding your beautiful baby girl.

Steem On my friend.

I will be your guide, your host, your friend anytime you wish to come!
I visited some places but not whole Mediterranean!
And, yes, I hold her while she is playing with my chest hair (weird) :) :) :)

My boys still play with my chest hair. They usually try to pull it out now. I wonder how long it would take to cruise throughout all the Mediterranean.

When I was younger I remember the Yugo, and I'm wondering if that car was sold domestically where you live?

Steem On friend

I like your post it true Steem On!
