I just came home from work, transfered payouts for the Episode 7 of “Feed Your Minnows” to all the eligidble participants, and then checked my account’s latest events on steemd.com
To my amazement, I saw that @farhannaqvi7 downvoted a bunch of my latest posts. Why?, you may wonder. Well, earlier today I replied to one of farhannaqvi7’s comments (this one, namely), and suggested that he should stop spamming other people’s comments with the link to his own blog and a promise of “giving you happiness in just few second” (his spelling, not mine).
Well, that action had obviously upset @farhannaqvi7 badly enough so that he decided to retaliate by downvoting my posts. Given his current SteemPower (40 SP), it didn’t make much of an impact to my reputation or my posts’ payouts. But still: do you think such petty retaliation actions by Steem-spammers should be tolerated and ignored? Or can you please suggest a more constructive way of dealing with them? I will appreciate your thoughts and ideas in the comments below.
As always, much love
Pff! That's crap. People that do that are just low..

Hi @oleg326756, I think taking @veibone suggestion was the best.
Since he is petty spammer, he is not much worth your energy on him.
That's my 2 cents :)

I agree with your view on this. I reported his plagiarised copy-paste posts to steemcleaners and that was it. No more time or energy wasted on that prick.

I'd say just ignore it. Flagging his comments they are spam is the right thing to do, but flagging his other posts in retaliation only brings more negativity into steemit. He won't harm you, and if you don't respond to it he'll give up soon enough.

I am sorry that this happened to you. I no longer flag any posts, but, will turn it over to Steemcleaners or Spaminator. There is too much retaliation and even if they are not "strong" enough, some will get their friends to downvote too. Yikes! Well, good luck to you. I hope it all just settles down. There is a real problem with people on here and all the spamming. :/
Should I go beat him up for you? ;)

He flagged another Steemian who tried to combat spam in the past. It shows that he’s really on a rampage. And I don’t think he’s discovered Steemit Chat or Discord yet. :))))

We should get him over and have a chat with him. He knows not what he does or to whom he does it to. Such foolishness

You can be lucky he does not have a large amount of leased SP (one of the drawbacks of leased SP). Honestly, in my opinion. Ignore him. With his current attitude and his "contribution" to Steemit he will most likely see the error of his ways, and go back to facebook. =P

I've heard of a few people getting hit like this. My question is how he got all the way to 40 with this behavior. I think a lot of people let this kind of garbage comment slide.
For me - I got one of these from someone who was 30 and explained in my reply how it is here. She even sent me a photo from her unrelated post in her comment to my post!
She replied meanly to tell me I was missing a great opportunity to see her work but did not downvote me at least.

I guess steem-petitions should be rolling now. What do you suggest? Just like we sign petitions on other platforms. We should be having our own steem-petitions deciding fate for such spammers. It would teach them lesson by example.

Yeah, chat with spaminator or steemcleaners, but flagging yourself will also make a nice dent on the dudes rep. I did a spam report post on him, check it out: https://steemit.com/steemit-police/@alex-icey/steemit-spam-report-8-24-17-or-things-are-getting-serious
I've been doing spam reports on guys like this for a little while now, and I have been bringing some attention to spammers trhough this way. This dude is litteraly flagging because he is mad, and clearly doesn't know whats up with steemit. I just started following you, and I like your blog quite a bit, will be keeping an eye on your content. Remember, this guy can't do anything to you, his flag means nothing.

Thank you for your support and your prompt action on this, @alex-icey. I actualyl knew your work from before, believe it or not, and this latest incident has just proved that you are a real deal.
I've followed you now too and hope we can work together in the future on exposing spammers and flaggers on Steemit.
