Come chat with Buff Steemington!

Greetings, fair Steemians!

I'm still getting settled into my new home here on Steemit, but I'm eager to start talking with the community! I've set up nifty communication channels so I can better stay in touch with all the amazing denizens of the SteemSphere, and now I'm sending an open invitation to all who would join me in my deeds of justice!

Fighting abuse is a community effort, and if we come together, we can be a shining beacon for those who are good, and strike fear into the hearts of those who want to unscrupulously keep rewards away from those who provide real value to this platform.

Come join my new Discord Channel!

I've set up a few different comm channels for ease of use. A superhero's life needs organization, after all. I'll explain in a bit of detail what each room is for, so I can easily link to this post for informing new users.

There's a general chat area, of course.

Just a place for me to better acquaint myself with any steemians who join up! No post promoting will be allowed here, as with most Steemit Discords.

"See something? Say something!"

This room is for reporting shady and unscrupulous behavior for me to keep an eye on, as well as blatant theft of content and plagiarism. Links posted in this room can be to individual posts, or to a user's profile. I will pay each link a visit, maybe even warning the steemian that I'm keeping a watchful eye, and the link provided in the chat will be removed to protect the identity of the submitter. Not anonymous enough? No problem at all! Just send me a personal message on Discord or Steemit.Chat, and I will look into it!

"Undervalued Content"

This room will be for sharing content from other users that you feel deserves more attention or rewards. These are posts that may have "flown under the radar" or gotten buried in the Steemit feed. In that spirit, posts linked here should be more than 48 hours old, once the initial curation wave has had its time to reward the content. After 48 hours, most posts tend to "fall off", and stop earning. Together, we can help those content creators who's posts have gone mostly unnoticed.

"Buff Should Follow"

Let me know who I should be paying attention to! This is the place to link to other users that you believe are creating valuable content regularly. These can be individual steemians or community efforts/initiatives.

"Self Promotion"

Here's your chance to let me know about that post you made the other day that you think may have been overlooked. As with the "Undervalued Content" channel, posts linked here should be older than 48 hours.

I can't wait to hear from you!

I've laid the groundwork, now it's up to you to help me hunt down abuse and reward those who deserve a little more. I hope this post has inspired you to do some good today, even if it's leaving a word of encouragement on a stranger's post, or using a bid bot to place a minimum bid on someone else's content. The little things matter more than you may think, and as I've said before...
