Last Minute Upvoter Accounts (2018-02-19)
@abusereports will report all large votes on posts just before payout, usually indicative of some shady business! Each day a new post will be generated and its content will be updated
If you would like to help stop abuse and feel those in the comments below are abusing the reward pool, flag them.
Please show your support for @abusereports by following, resteeming and upvoting if you see value to this project.
Thank you for your support.
Anyway to modify that code to also show flags happening right before payout? Isn't this also suspect?
I'm sure that could be done, although I figure those are more for correcting the issues above than abuse.
LOL
While I am trying to get bots to upvote my posts as soon as I post them so there will be promoted earlier and increase their visibility, others are trying to get them upvoted in the last minute. Interesting, what can I say...
You can say "fuck it, can't beat them join them."
Anything else on this platform is a lost cause. And if @abusereports thinks that this little trimming of the weeds here and there is going to result in the creation and maintenance of a 'Garden Of Eden' then I feel sorry for any offspring that he/she might (or has) produced. Life is going to be tough.
That is in no way a personal attack but if you think that in-fighting is the way to change a system, that policing each other is going to lead you to success then you really don't know shit about societies, human behavior, or have ever even picked up a book on History to know that this is the worst possible way that one could try to address the issue.
Lynch mobs did much for humanity yeah..... (asks @abusereports as he stares into his reflection each morining. The answer does not come.... the question does however get repeated each morning, only with less and less gusto each time... to the point that @abusereports is no longer able to look at his reflection any more..)
(I assume it's a he... then again.. females are wired to act first on emotion rather than logic, so..)
Sounds like a personal attack to me. You sure you want to go there?
lol at the X
mind melt down in motion....
Shut the fuck up fagit.
"You sure you want to go there"
Works only on the fools that give a fuck about flags.
I was also about to add a suggestion... since I do acknowledge that I only critiqued the negative.
THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO FORK.
Let the steemit that has become what it is continue..
Give rise to a new steemit where you DO vote and manage each other solely as human participants. NO BOTS... and see the outcome.
You either fail or succeed. Trying to succeed and co-exist is idiotic.
Anyway if you want to start your little flag attack... go ahead sweetheart...
LMAO... that's so cute...
YOU'RE A SAD LONELY MAN.
You're desperate attempt to 'damage' me shows how little brain you have.
The truth is around here.. the ones that matter.. alienated you long ago.
No matter what your little desperate fight does.. THEY WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU INTO THEIR CIRCLES..
THIS HURTS YOUR EGO LITTLE MAN. Good luck.
Says the guy with the $288 account...LOL, go fuck yourself child.
Oh wow so this is how we measure ourselves is it?
By how much we accumulate in this closed system of delusional existence...
Fuck man I used to think you at least had intelligence.
I still think you are a lonely cunt who struggles to be loved but you at least come acrross as knowledgeable in the space of crypto. IF THAT PERSON who they claim is you is you.
What do you think this flag attack will do though....
If you had a clue you would know I don't post here for reward.
I simply make commentary on what I observe. So the only thing you are doing is hurting your VP for the fight which you think is worth the effort. WHAT A DUMB CUNT.
Carry on though... you will feel good about it at the end of the night when you tuck yourself in.
You know these words ARE ALL TRUE TOO... or you wouldn't be so butthurt now by what a $288 account says.
So you see....
I ALREADY ACHIEVED MY GOAL SON.
NO AMOUNT OF FLAGS WILL REMOVE THOSE THOUGHTS FROM YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS...
/end
Hey Darling.. how are you today... wondering if your asshole healed yet? I sent through that ointment that Doc suggested just in case it's still red raw.
tickle me with more flags if still hurting......
Anyway just passing through.. adding buzz.. seen as your bullshit initiative didn't get much interest besides a hand full of steemit-peasants.
Also trolling you was fun.. you take it well.
Still hurting I see.... thank you..
I enjoy knowing you follow me around now with a bleeding asshole. LOL
Good Post
i up voted , resteem and followed i would to be srong like you .
explain how selling a vote worth of 6,5 dollars 1 day before payout is an abuse? we have different understanding of what is abuse i guess:)
The intent is to catch those who are doing this regularly as it generally indicates a user trying to hide a large vote they're placing on an undeserving post. The bot will get smarter as time goes on.
i understand the intent...im questioning the "single caught abuser" with his 6 bucks upvote...nothing more nothing less:)
Less time avaiable for the community see the post on the trending and hot Pages, and give a flag If found the post as abusive.
I agree with you here, a user who has done this only once can't be considered an abuser, not a big one. Actually he has a little impact over the reward pool but the big players who take upvotes of hundreds of SBDs, these are the people who should be asked if they find okay what they are doing. Because eventually nobody can say that it is wrong to vote yourself in the day that is made the payout, if the blockchain permits it, then it can be done...
Blockchain permits a lot of things. You can post plagiarized posts, you can threaten someone’s life, you can post 10 times per day and upvote yourself to 500 bucks every time no matter the content, you can flag users for no reason whatsoever. Every user has right to say that this kind of behaviour is wrong and act accordingly with their stake:) Otherwise Steem would have no value whatsoever because everyone would be just gaming the rewards...
Yeap, I completely agree. But for the moment, I have almost no solution to what is happening to the rewards by now. I guess that how the wealth is distributed here is the main problem.
In a capitalistic system wealth will always be distributed more or less in the same way. There will be few really rich users, some rich users, quite some users with at least something and vast majority with very little. I think that no effort can change this (what i deem as) biological fact.
I agree that finding the solution is really hard (if it even is doable) Ive tried to contemplate about it in this post so if youre interested you can go through it:) it is a long post just so you know...:D
I don't have much time to read, I don't know if I will do it now because I am at work and I have just a few free time, but for sure I will do it when I will get home. Just to make it simpler for me, could you tell me what aggrandize mean?
amazing post! i follow u
Thank you for your efforts to prevent abuse. I appreciate it.
I see that you're reporting suspicious upvotes above $10 USD. How about similar practices with less than $10 USD?
The ROI of abuse is the same for all levels, but by focusing on abuse with larger $ values, we are missing the big picture.
If we keep flagging posts above $10 USD, those people are going to find ways of limiting their upvotes to $9.99 but increasing the number of posts. As a result, we'll end up with more junk posts.
At a certain moment, we'll reach a point where we end up with so many suspicious cases that we won't be able to distinguish which is abuse, which isn't. And some genuine users will be trampled upon, which is already happening.
I don't think we can prevent abuse just by flagging as long as the author and curator rewards amount to $65 Million USD a year. That type of reward pool will always draw abusers.
The only way to solve this mess is to get rid of the rewards for authors and curators and introduce a tipping system. Otherwise, Steem won't be able to sustain its price levels for long.
