Culprits:
Evidence:
Here we have a guy @holl.boll who was brought to my attention as a spammer by @nightshift1134, Thanks @nightshift1134. It does appear this person is a spammer, if you look at his comments it is a few copied and pasted comments and random begging comments. A typical upvote begger. He have very nice grammar too, look at his page description...Lol.
Then, we have this guy @sandeepsaini who said "like" on my post and kept annoying me with mindless and annoying comments. God.
Next up, we have this dude @rakibulce, who is advertising himself on my psot. I saw he was copying and pasting this to many peoples postings as well. The thing is, I understand, you are looking for work and opportunities, but you can't go around spamming because that will make people on steemit turn away from you. I didn't really want to flag him, but I feel that he needs to learn to get attention and advertise himself in other ways that isn't at other's expense.
Everyone, the Dolphins, Whales, And Minnows need to band together to fight this epidemic of spam. Upvote and resteem this post so we can make this post trending and bring more awareness to the topic, because I can only reach out to so many people.
I think beginners who are not used to communicate, can leave such comments. But they can change their mind and realize that it's not working. We must give them the chance and try to explain what the problem is.
If I see something that is blatantly wrong I'll typically say something like I'm surprised nobody has flagged this yet and tell them why to give them the benefit of doubt and opportunity to correct it on the next one . I have flagged a few repeat offenders though. But heck even I was hit with the cheeta bot had a friend send me a joke I though was funny so I shared it hear and boom apparently it was a copy and paste from some joke site, live and learn
suerte...te sigo....
