Great news! Abusers and spamers must be punishes, and Steemit deserves to be a cleaner place. Thank you for doing this hard work. Steemcleaners, Spaminators + mack-bot - it's a hefty bunch of work. My respect!
I found 490 new accounts from that group yesterday. I'll probably get some more today when they get done posting. @mack-bot has been busy already today.
Very cool! Many users of Steemit.com are getting fed up with bot comments and something like this could really help. I was thinking of doing something similar with a "mute list" of sorts which people could crowdsource and use to ignore the noise.
At the same time, I wonder if muting accounts is enough as muted accounts could be voting up their own comments to take from the rewards pool without providing any value and it would be harder to spot if they are mostly muted. Either way, I love seeing innovations like this working to improve things. Well done!
Thank you. I'm working on streamlining some things for @spaminator & @steemcleaners that will get the community projects involved in preventing rewards being paid out to accounts that post spam & other abuse.
The service bots are another problem but I've been on the fence and I really just encourage the community to flag them if they don't like them and upvote them if they do. I don't feel that it should be up to one person or group to decide what is or isn't beneficial to the community in that regard.
I'm going to publish a post under @spaminator soon on the importance of community participation in flagging as a way to provide feedback to bot owners.
I know you're working behind the scene, members of the community need to know your hard work. I voted up and resteem this post.
Well done job.

One month ago I opened "new" and caught 73 such assholes in 1 hour. You can check my old post and maybe find some new names for your list. https://steemit.com/steemit/@erikaflynn/new-abuse-on-steemit-tons-of-meaningless-posts-from-new-users
Resteemed and voted for you as a witness.

Thanks!
Mack will lay down the smack!
Hey @patrice - what are farming accounts or comment farms?? How can we identify them? Thanks.

Cool! Glad to see all these tools come into being... thanks for all the work you do to keep things "clean" around here.
I imagine (like cheetah) that upvotes from the community are welcomed to help support the venture and give it more "teeth."
Absolutely! I'm not much of a writer but after the 14 days and I stop commenting I'll find time to post a picture of the real "Mack" on occasion.
I didn't know you were a witness! Voting for you now 😁
