It appears he was giving himself $1.00 an upvote regularily... and now recently he's been tapering it off.. many of his comments now show 0 upvotes. You have to keep scrolling down his comment list and you will see where he was voting himself up a lot... often for very simple comments.
So if this one user is doing it less, perhaps other users are starting to do it less.
Either way @calamus056 keep these lists coming. :)
Bringing this attention that @calamus056 did might be working. I picked one user at random out of the list:

** I've resteemed this post.
It's possible he is waiting 5-6 days to upvote his own comments so he can better avoid detection because of how it is viewed nowadays.
To catch a scumbag, you must think like a scumbag!
haha.
Agreed. We need a hypothetical mathematical model that demonstrates the damage done over time to Steem through self-voting at different degrees:
A. Steem users,
B. STEEM value
C. Steem morale
D. Any other metric
We need to make our case.
There was a dialog on a older post of mine with 138 replies a month ago. Take a look:
