RE: Filling the Bid Bot Hole

in #newsteem5 years ago

I realize this is slightly off topic, but, Bidbots bring to mind Downvotes, and there's been a recent Downvote spate.

Some of the downvoting is going on by new, tiny SP accounts seemingly pointing back to CamilleSteemer.

I notice many of these new accounts are still working on SP delegated by their initial 15SP Delegation from SteemitInc.
I see tiny transactions being sent form the the wallets, to another account.
I was wondering, @justinw is it possible to Code that people still working off their initial Delegation are NOT allowed to move Steem out, until they PayOff their initial delegation? Maybe one way to limit the effectiveness of these new spammers?

would this help cut down on the issue?

Sort:  

@bluefinstudios it is not possible to prevent people from withdrawing any of their own stake, no. Something like that would require a hard fork, and, that would likely be a very controversial topic - even if it had 'good intentions'.

However, if you notice people abusing their free 15SP delegation loan, you can submit here for it to be removed: https://github.com/steemit/redeemer-irredeemables (this has been done for thousands of accounts)

The way the free delegation loan currently works is that their delegation is slowly removed as they gain more of their own SP. It's also highly reduced if they are inactive for a long time (leaving just enough to become active again in order to keep good UX for returning users).

Where exactly would someone report an account like https://steemit.com/@jixta ?
I see the github, but where is the place to report?
seems that all jixta does is downvote and send money to Camileresteemer
