Hi to all the Steemians out there! I don't know if you have actually noticed it, but there are a lot of downvoting newbie accounts that are causing havoc on Steemit. Sooner or later you might be affected yourself. It all started out about 6 months ago. I noticed that an account called @camillesteemer was constantly downvoting me. So I checked out the account because I had never seen or heard of him till that day. As his history showed, he had been downvoted himself at the start of his posts because of plagiarism. Then I did a bit more research and found out that others were affected too.
@camillesteemer seemed to have surrendered and gave his account to those who downvoted him. As the months went by, I started getting extra downvotes from other newbie accounts such as @deito.
Today with my latest post I had 5 downvotes! Now I don't think this is a coincidence and I am pretty sure that the whole thing seems to be a bot army collecting Steemit accounts and downvoting fully automatically.
Now at the moment this isn't really a problem for Steemit, but this bot network is getting bigger and bigger and soon it will spread like a virus hitting the community very hard. The accounts don't have any SteemPower at the moment, but just imagine they start upvoting each other and start using that against defenseless Steemit members! Especially because you cannot "block" other members! Below I will try to list all the downvote bot accounts for you.
Is anybody else observing this weird trend? Does Steemit (@steemitblog) know about this?
Now here the downvote bot accounts (feel free to complete the list in the comments). The list is growing. It could be hundreds!

Hallo liebe Steemianer da draussen! Ich weiß ja nicht, ob es euch aufgefallen ist, aber einige "Neuling-Konten" treiben ihr Unwesen und sind ohne erkennbaren Grund kräftig am downvoten. So auch bei mir, aber es könnte bald jeden treffen! Bei fing es vor ca. 6 Monaten an. Mir fiel auf, dass mich ein Account namens @camillesteemer permanent gedownvotet hat. Da ich weder das Konto noch den Namen kannte schaute ich mir das ganze mal genauer an.
Meine Recherchen ergaben, dass auch andere von diesem Konto Downvotes erhalten hatten. Wie ein anderer Steemianer berichtete muss @camillesteemer selbst am Anfang wegen Plagiats Downvotes kassiert haben nur um dann zu kapitulieren und sein Konto den Downvotern zu überlassen.
Während ich neue Posts veröffentlichte fiel mir dann irgendwann auf, dass auf einmal neue "Newbie-Konten" mich ebenfalls gedownvotet haben. So wie von @deito z.B.
Heute mit meinem neuesten Post hatte ich sage und schreibe 5 Downvotes! Nun glaube ich auch nicht mehr an Zufälle und behaupte, dass hier ein Bot-Netzwerk aufgebaut wird, um Steemit mit Downvotes zu überziehen.
Derzeit ist das nicht wirklich ein Problem. Die Downvote-Roboter haben keine SteemPower also auch kein Gewicht. Aber stell dir vor, die voten sich gegenseitig und überziehen die Steemit-Community wie ein Virus!
Oben in der englischen Version habe ich eine vorläufige Liste der Konten erstellt, die mich bereits gedownvotet haben. Bitte ergänzt die Liste in den Kommentaren. Ich werde dies auch tun.
Wer hat denn Kenntnis von dieser seltsamen Entwicklung? Weiß Steemit (@steemitblog) davon?
Their votes don't have any weight. If you get 100 downvotes from accounts like those, it still won't matter.
They won't ever get enough SP since they are quickly added to blacklists so even if they upvote each other, it won't do anything for them.

Hi @felipejoys I have a different opinion. I have received massive downvotes and yes it does matter! They are farming welcome votes and welcome presents. The bot number is growing. Apart from that I have seen whale accounts transferring mini amounts via fake transit accounts to camillesteemer. This will not just disappear! 🤔

Hundreds of 15 SP downvotes wouldn't take away more than a single cent, though. That's because a vote "ignores" a bit of it's own SP before being added. Basically, a 15 SP vote doesn't do anything.
If that is the case, then there's nothing we can do about it.

.There is something that can be done about it, keep including @steem as the leader of the downvote bot army. If @steem withdrew it's delegation then at most the accounts would only have enough RC credits for the first free two down votes, then maybe on or two at most other down votes before they are out of Resource Credits. No RC's no actions can be taken by them. These accounts are not in compliance with the steem white paper, and they are certainly not members of the steemit communities. They are Troll Accounts that are being enabled by @steem. So keep mentioning @steem as the Enabler of these accounts then maybe, just maybe they will withdraw their delegation from this type of account.

Hi @networkallstar
I see it as a problem
For me, a red flag is more than a downvote
Red flag I would compare to a. Referee showing a player off the field. And that means you've gone over the line and have to take your punishment.
I think all the new little accounts that only use the red flag are people behind with another agenda.
Others who come to Steemit now and have signed up with a small account and make their posts will see the red flags as a penalty.
And they will not understand why they are being flagged.
Think about all the new accounts being attacked by the little red flags
Yes, they will do harm, maybe it is enough that new small accounts leave Steemit again.
That is one of the reasons I am against direct red flags without warning.

Einfach ignorieren. Ich vermute die Downvotes sind eher ein Nebenprodukt. Wenn man sich den camillesteemer Account anschaut, dann gehen da lauter kleine Zahlungen ein: die ganzen 0,001 Steem die so oft mit irgendwelchen Memos in unseren Accounts landen...

Hi @muscara, das kann man nicht mehr ignorieren finde ich. 😕 Je mehr Bot Accounts ich markiere in den Kommentaren, desto mehr Downvotes bekomme ich. Wie groß ist dieses Botnetzwerk eigentlich? Soeben ein weiterer Downvote von @sefuki (-10%) wie alle anderen Bots. Es gibt definitiv einen Automatismus, dass wenn man die Accs markiert, weitere Downvotes automatisch getriggert werden.

Keine Ahnung, aber es wurde schon ausführlich geschrieben darüber. Aber ich will auch gar nicht mehr wissen. Ignorieren ist die Devise. Jedes Fitzelchen Aufmerksamkeit, das denen gegeben wird, ist zu viel. Einmal bekommt man diese Zeit nicht zurück (Leben ist kurz) und außerdem ist ignorieren immer die beste Lösung.
Ist wie Rumpelstilzchen - ignorieren und sich ärgern lassen, irgendwann platzt's und verschwindet.

Steemit Inc. stellt nur die "Infrastruktur" zur Verfügung. Was hier passiert oder nicht, liegt im Ermessen der Stakeholder. Wieso sollte man auf einer dezentralen Blockchain nach der zentralen Autorität rufen und die machen lassen?
btw: Wegen der "Dust Margin", also der Schwelle ab der erst Rewards ausgezahlt werden, ist es nicht sinnvoll wenn kleine Fische wie wir Votes auf Comments geben. Das senkt nämlich nur die eigene Votingpower, bringt aber sonst nichts. Lieber nur auf Posts voten :) Aber es gibt ja noch andere Möglichkeiten: wie wäre es mit einem !BEER

Bei mir ist ein Downvoter namens Jolerus aufgetaucht. Das Gute (ironischerweise) ist aktuell, dass Steem so wenig wert hat. 0.00000 $. Er nimmt aber auch nur 10%. Solche Accounts haben meistens auch keine Beiträge, oder Kommentare. (Vermutlich wollen sie eine Angriffsfläche vermeiden) So überlegt, können die schlimmstenfalls totalen Anfängern Komplikationen bereiten (Falls Sie Werte über 0,0000) liefern. Im übrigen camillesteemer ist bei mir auch ein Klassiker.... nochwas wenn du den #Tag cc verwendest, werden Kommentare durch @commentcoin belohnt. (Da versuch ich gerade mit miniupvotes das Projekt zu unterstützen, aber alleine macht das wenig Sinn). Commentcoins sind Tokens

Wäre eine automatisierte Anmeldung bei Steemit theoretisch möglich? Ich meine, wer setzt sich denn hin und melde hunderte wenn gar tausende Accs händisch an?

I think these are fake accounts using delegated Steem Power that they received from new account creation. It seems like the delegated power should be removed in this case or perhaps we should not let downvotes be cast by accounts who do not have any Steem Power earned of their own. Another possibility is to only allow downvotes to be cast by accounts who actually have a post waiting to be rewarded during the seven day reward period.
There seems like there are some solutions to this but there does not seem to be much action being taken over it. In my opinion it is not really good for a social network to permit such behavior because it tends to be annoying and does not encourage cooperation.

you don't have to care much if the account reputation is lower than yours and their Steem Power not that much to affect your earning on Steem. But if it otherwise you may start to concern about it and ask the downvoter if they could explain why such action coming from them to you.

.001 steem transfers are usually memo spam, people sent them out en masse to promote stuff. Check the transaction history of the account sending the .001 memos and you are likely to see that they spam those memos to everyone and not just the downvote ring. As others here have said, the proper response to these downvotes is to ignore them. Spending your time and energy on them is totally pointless, the accounts are already blacklisted and cannot ever gain more SP, and the tiny amount they have is not enough to register a single thousandth of a Steem loss even if you were flagged by a ton of them. Sort of like a cloud of annoying insects, except they can't actually bite or do any damage. Don't waste your energy on this.

Thanks for this post.
I agree with you that these downvote armies are a problem, and that they could become a HUGE problem.
"The accounts don't have any SteemPower at the moment, but just imagine they start upvoting each other and start using that against defenseless Steemit members!"
I don't think they can upvote each other, because part of their strategy is to not make any posts or comments. This keeps them partly anonymous, and prevents their targets from being able to retaliate or communicate.
I think they're all owned by one person, or small group project. The ones I'm talking about all have about 25 rep (new accounts with no interactions), silly nonsensical names with 5-7 characters, 0 STEEM, and 15 SP delegated from Steemit. That means these are free accounts that Steemit manually accepted onto the blockchain through their account creation process.
Even though these bots can't upvote each other or themselves, they'll still grow, via curation. They can upvote other people's posts/comments (perhaps the posts/comments of their owners). They will also get a trickle of interest, memo dust, and so on. It will be slow, but it puts a clock (timeline) on the blockchain. At some point, this army will prevail, unless something happens to stop it.
Their goal appears to build a completely free, and always-growing, massive downvote tool that has thousands of working parts, can survive rule changes or community blowbacks, and can be divided up as needed to pick off multiple targets every day.
@hyjuki and @criblo are the 2 bots currently downvoting my posts. And there's nothing that can be done about them except try to ignore them.
I notice that several of these bots, when they joined Steemit, immediately used their witness vote to cast a vote for @Curator. Curator is a new bidbot, part of the #NewSteem cult, a downvote-for-hire project funded by all the NewSteem whales and dolphins. It's creepy that whoever runs this downvote army seems to fully support Curator, for some reason. By the way, I am on the record for having criticized Curator's strategy/motivations, and wouldn't be shocked if they considered me an enemy, just sayin.
I feel somebody or somebodies is/are using HF21's rule changes (ie: free downvotes) to rig the system and take down parts or all of the blockchain. I can see where it's headed if something doesn't change. You're right to sound the alarm on this as it has the potential to bring everything down, even faster than other existing threats to the community/chain.
EDIT: @trimesgi, @ketszy, @jupyoho, and @hiluop have also locked their leech-vulture-vampire teeth into my flesh. Fuck you, cowards!

My personal list is currently:
@lokust
@hyjuki
@criblo
@trimesgi
@ketszy
@jupyoho
@hiluop
HF21 provides them with free ammunition (downvotes), and Stinc's recent changes for easier account creation ensure their ranks increase, for free. Each of them takes little or no time to manage, and will slowly gain in SP.
Hopefully more victims post their own lists, and hopefully you continue to publish updates.

I get two downvotes from dust accounts regularly now. If they have a fake entry post I like to use it as free advertising. Because if this guy downvotes the right people - maybe they will be angry too and follow me just to spite the downvote. I have gotten more following since the downvoting. So that has been nice - The catfishing accounts are at least getting me more viewers/votes in the long run.

Haha, nice plan you have there, but the problem is getting bigger and bigger. I am getting to know the massive downvotes from these bots and it isn't fun at all. This must stop...
