Hiya @jaguar.force!

I like how you touched on the sociological theory of abusers acting in groups. Yes, it does seem true from observation how groups with similar values tend to lump together.

Unfortunately, the groups you refer to act in a manner that is more damaging to the broader userbase in how they affect the perception of Steem to outsiders. We obviously don't want this platform to appear as a haven for disingenuous persons. In my mind, that is simply common sense for the rational person.

I did appreciate how you described some tactics you employ to positively identify abuse. Some of them I have learned along the way as I had been rigorously seeking evidence on abusers whose behavior really jumped out to me as suspicious. I know that there has been times I would need to convert into the native tongue of the abuser before I got the hit that was needed.

As for the nonsense writing in posts, I didn't think to try to translate that gibberish to another language. Actually, I stumbled on one earlier but was distracted. Be on the lookout for a user posting English nonsense and an Asian language. (It may have been Korean.) Next time, I will know what to do thanks to you!

Now, the last thing I must remind you of is to remember to run your text through a proofreading software such as Hemingway to ensure that you refine the presentation. Admittedly, I do not always do this as thoroughly as I should and I will get dinged on my contributions for it. Your post has substance and character and, like a precious gem, just need to put in a bit extra time to buff out the superficial imperfections.
