Oh I totally get that, scrapping the reward pool is detrimental to the community and it should be dealt with.
But is last day voting, or even auto-voting for that matter, a good KPI for scrappers? I don't believe so.
In fact, I propose a different approach, why not gather a task force to analyze these situations on a case by case basis? I mean, @abusereports at one point even reported @utopian-io, for [insert deity]'s sake.
Circlejerk pumping is, in my humble opinion, THE greatest problem with steem, it's so bad it's not even a steem problem, it's a consensus problem, a blockchain (and tangle) problem. IOTA has it so bad it's still being controlled by a central power and can only be democratically controlled later on with a gargantuan amount of participants and even then...who knows.
But there's good circlejerking as well, and that's why it's so hard to tackle this issue. @utopian-io is one of them. My preferred communities small communities could benefit from that.
All in all, I'm just questioning the last day voting phenomenon as a reliable KPI. How many of @abusereports 's reports are valid? What's the percentage of false positives? Did anyone bother to check? Are we going to just flag the crap out of every name @abusereports spews out?
It all looks uncontrolled, I see it only enticing blind pitchforking.
@walden has done a good job researching this case (I'll still have to review this specific user to get a proper opinion, but I value @walden 's effort none the less), I'll give you that. But by now he's already way behind schedule, just look at how many names have already been named.
Of course everything that a bot dishes out must be sifted and inspected and considered in the "bigger picture" perspective but the place to start is with those instrumental in siphoning off most of the rewards, big fish queue up first.

I think we can agree on that.
I just hope that this doesn't get fueled by disdain towards whales alone. If I was a whale I'd probably be doing it to pump up users and communities I value. (I don't know, it's easy for a poor man to say his heart is pure, I guess)
Thanks for chiming in on the subject. I appreciate that. Let's hope for the best, as in...the best way to draw the line between good whale/bad whale.
Cheers.
