Inspired by those dedicated to stoping abuse of the reward pool @berniesanders @fulltimegeek @transisto to name a few.

I began searching for users who self vote,use multiple accounts or abuse leased dealagation to vote comments greatly overvaluing and taking much rewards.

Will be posting users and supporting evidence also contacting delagtees and those that work for saving rewards.


Comment Farming.

@waliafridi

Comment spamming and selfvoting all comments





Is evident is serious issue of reward pol abuse there 100's of thousands of sp between those accounts which i found in a few hours surely there are many more i hope someone will help put an end to this so quality content is rewarded instead of spammer.

This poster is a liar.

@nikez452 is publicly my girlfriend, and has stated her only use case for Steem is voting on my content.

The fact that it is "always done at 6.5 hours" is also a lie.

Liars (and bad RoI) have already convinced her to power down.

Further, see how the OP is a memo-beggar-(hopeful-abuser?), just like Transisto noted in his recent post:

yesterday iscaoin Transfer 0.021 STEEM to freedom PLEASE delagate 500k SP i will pay 0 SBD EVERY day

"Modus operandi:

Beg a greedy whale for delegation via a memo in a micro-payment.

pay ~50 SBD,
Receive ~100k SP delegation

Spam and upvote your own posts.

Yes, that is exactly what you'd expect the graph to look like given the facts as stated.

Are you off your meds?

Why don't you try showing that my almost 7000 posts, and the quality of my content, are actually over-rewarded?

You won't, because you can't, because you have no evidence. All you have is a girlfriend voting on all my shit in a publicly stated manner.

If anyone is farming the reward pool with shit around here, it's you:

https://steemit.com/atc/@isacoin/altcoin-trading-championship-round-1-entry

I can't find a post of yours that even uses complete sentences, most of them are ABSOLUTE SHIT.

GTFO.

good one keep flagging

Keep posting trash, I'll have to.

hiding the evidence

More like removing the slander for which you have no evidence.

The fact that you think posting info about witnesses makes me responsible for how people vote is ALL that anyone needs to know: you're an idiot.

there is no slander
your only hiding evidence
other people can decide when the see voting pattern

So, what, you just spam-beg sarcastically?

Nice try. Why don't you try creating something of value instead of shitposting for once.

at least my posts dont damage the platform like yours on witnesses

voting up $30+ with bots encouraging users to vote dead witnesses

https://steemit.com/witness-category/@lexiconical/steempty-meet-the-witnesses-44

Keep doubling down on your lies.

My posts do not advise anyone to vote for witnesses. In fact, they specifically suggest you can make me a proxy if you don't know who to vote for. I vote for 0 dead witnesses.

Reporting the facts on witnesses is not an endorsement for them.

Take your trash elsewhere.

Thanks for reporting, Make another post if there are error to correct. Evidences are not very well presented.

will make individual reports on each and update here with summaries of stats

@lexiconical hey brother, can you explain to me, how delegation works, and why commenting and upvoting all day is bad? I am still trying to wrap my head around this and still cant. You seem to know how to ratio works, but maybe you can help me out with that. Thanks

Wow..... ! You have searched for that. It took hard effort. Nice ! :)

i have a habit of voting for my own posts. but i totally agree with spamming being a serious issue. I don't know if @ned or his team are working on it, but it should be controlled with severe penalties for those caught using multiple accounts to self vote.

selfvoting is fine,
the above accounts took $1000's using multiple accounts and comment spamming to clean rewards is serious issue

Yes, indeed, this is a serious issue.
Thank you very much for your work unveiling this.

nice

Thanks you for pointing out pilgrimtraveler / exploretraveler. There's actually more accounts employed and they are doing more than upvoting each others comments. I call them the Gentry gang. They are a family of bloggers but have now become what I would like to call a clique of corporatized self-interests that engage in self and circular voting. I have flagged a # of PT's posts and confronted the voting patterns noted with no response.

As you may note, there is a lack of quality that substantiates $100+ in rewards on many of the posts but the self voting, circular voted and use of many bid bots is what allows them to achieve this "perception" of quality.

They will upvote their own posts 100% and toss their followers a few 10% votes in order to keep them commenting / and coming back for more for the scraps from the table. This commenters lend legitimacy to their activity but, if one is more discerning, you can see through the charade.

I have watched them do this for some time and hope that one day a good whale will put them all in their place for this ill behavior which unfortunately is incentivized on this platform. Look at the number of bid bots. I am not a fan of bid bots at all and this is just excessive. This is on a exploretraveler post.

Thank you for this post @isacoin.
