Steemit Spam Update: More Spammers Discovered, Appropriate Actions Taken. Steemians, Take Action! Here are today's findings on the awesome platform of Steemit, with a load of spammers. We need some bigger people helping out with the spam to get rid of them, muting them simply isn't enough.
Today's Culprit:

This spam bot was brought to my attention by @linuxphreak, and this bot seems to be spamming for an advertisement of a resteeming service. This post just spams a comment to advertise. It's repetitive as well...Check it out.
So, as you can see, I've discovered another advertising spam bot. I've only flagged a few of the bots comments, but if you want to, feel free to flag it too because it has been annoying steemians and interrupting with their posts. This isn't how you advertise.
I'd really appreciate if you could stop using that Sherlock Image for spam report and other non-investigative content...
I feel like you are diluting my identity here!
Don't get me wrong, I do fully appreciate your efforts, but it has not much to do with an investigator's work.
I had seen that yesterday or the day before, and truly thought for a second that maybe the two of you were the same person 😃, so I'd say the point about diluting your identity is warranted.
Both of you, @sherlockholmes and @alex-icey, keep up the great work you are doing!
Yes, that's exactly what worried me.
Thanks for the support! @alex-icey, keep up the good fight!
Yeah, i switched the photo because it is a little confusing...Thanks!! @thatsweeneyguy
ok i will change it sorry
It's all good, no offense taken!
I also by no means would want to "disallow" your use of that image, I'm not arrogant enough for that (though my chosen character probably should be).
I was just trying to voice my concerns about possible mix-ups between our posts listed under #steemit-police and at the same time questioning the adequacy of your title image.
I'd be thankful if you found a new image, probably something related to spam, maybe a copy-machine being smashed or something similar? I'm willing to brainstorm.
I couldn't find your handle on steemit.chat, if you want to talk, please find me there!
Cool, I was just trying to look for last minute image to be honest, but its alright. I already found one, and I might change it in the future. But I completely understand where you are coming from.
That image is great though, and it is right on topic, making your posts super easy to be recognized...
I think we are ending up with a classic win-win here ;)
Cool post - the dam spam bots are horribly annoying. I agree with you - we need to do whatever we can against them... Followed, Upvoted, Resteemed...
How I wish we can have an auto-spam detector to flag these annoying bots! Any tech savvy guru on Steemit? Let's find out...
Newbie to Steemit this post was so benefical. Thanks for sharing.
I haven't been on here for a week yet and have noticed a lot of spam bots floating around. Great info and awareness. Spam👎🏻❌❌🚫🚫
If I make a lot of comments, like I check stuff and share my opinion, does it count as a spam bot? :D
