I hope they can deal with that. I expect they can spot accounts that try to report too much.

Thanks @steevc and @steemcleaners! Even with what little SP I have Im always torn between uovoting great posts or downvoting asses posting a single picture with a link to its original source. I usually up vote and have shunned down voting as I'm scared of getting flagged or down voted myself.

Great initiative. I've definitely been guilty of not flagging, however it's mostly due to the fact that i give out warnings first. If the spam persists...well measures are taken. I think this idea can really make a difference though.

People need incentives and also a safer way to report abuse without reprisal. so this seems to provide both!

Awesome news! Thanks for sharing. Sometimes I want to punch a comment in the face because it is so flat, now I can earn from it :D

Really good to know. Ill definitely start using this.

mrwang (69) · 7 years ago

Did not know @steemcleaners rewarded users for doing this... +1 for them... still think they go overboard a lot of times.

I had had some of them come and comment trying to get a follow or a vote. I usually go and see their blog. Just to see what they have posted and most of them do not have any posts. I will have to start doing this, thanks for the info.

i think its a good step to stop some spam and junkers, as steemit growth well and user are increase day by day, its totally unmanageble to protect each and everyone by checking ownself. so if you look something like that can report it and helped the platform.

Crypto systems seem to have an uncanny ability to regulate themselves.

This is really cool! Maybe there will actually be something positive that comes out of my post getting spammed the next time someone does ;) I'm definitely bookmarking that link.
