Spamming has been such a big problem recently, that just muting the spammers isn't enough. There are more and more spam accounts being created and more and more spam bots being made as well.
Sometimes I don't understand why some people have to be so hostile. This guy @kaib is a spammer that was feautured in one of my spam reports by a steemian named @kapetanic, who has had multiple run ins with this guy, and this guy is not only a spammer, but a flag happy one at that.
So here's how it all started: Now this guy @kapetanic has an encounter with this dude @kaib who makes little to none of any original content, so he basically copies and pastes most of the time, so @kapetanic told @kaib that he should post original content, and now @kaib has been downvoting many of his postings more no reasons just because the dude is made.
So @kapetanic explains to me about how the guy wasn't making original content and how he should make original and creative content that will be appreciated more on steemit, but this guy just gets mad and flags this dude because he was trying to correct this newbie steemian. This isn't how you deal with people, people. So this guy is just downvoting a bunch of @kapetanic's stuff because he is salty. Also, the dude @kaib is not only a plagiarizer, but a spammer as well.
Check out @kapetanic's post on it: https://steemit.com/steemit/@kapetanic/what-kind-of-person-is-this
Here is some proof he is a spammer...
(some of his spam)
(more of his spam)
So this guy gets mad and flags people for pointing out his wrongs and is a heavy duty spammer. So after I mention him for being a spammer and called the dude out, he flags a lot of my comments and posts. And he has the nerve to say "Go piss and sleep little kid". What a mature adult we have here. And people complain about my generation, but it seems like the older generation isn't the best either.
This dude is flag happy and acts like an angry 5 year old who didn't get his candy. So basically this guy is telling me to screw off in so many words and is flagging me like crazy. Not like his flag effects me that much, I still don't want to have this dude doing that to me. Especially when I don't deserve it.
It has been very discouraging to see the spammers and copy pasters making more money than me even though I upload 99.5% original content. Steemit has some serious issues moving forward and seperating out and promoting the drops of champagne from the full blast fire hose of piss is one of them. The fleeting moments that an individual post is visible before it is burried in the pile is another. If you don't hit it big in the first 15 minutes after you post that's all she wrote. That's no big deal if you're a copy paster you just pump out another ten drivel filled shit post and hope one pays out but if you spend hours writing, editing, and proof reading it is a very big deal.
Love this.
Many here just spam comment and post but all the same is so wrong to downvote one when your wrongs are pointed out
Thanks for updating us on this non steem , fart creaters
Thats flagging msp members, sorry if not relevant to this post but still trolling isnt goodHey i heard about a flag troll from @gmuxx
@resteex or @gellany
If you mute them, doesn't that stop them from being able to find and see your content therefore preventing them from downvoting? I thought the mute was just like a block on FB.
Spammers are everywhere. It is an insidious disease on the internet. Used to be just bullies in real life, now we get them in cyberspace. Can't seem to catch a break.
Hint#1: Use the ISO 8601 standard for dates: YYYYMMDD (or YYYY-MM-DD).
Hint#2: While dealing with spammers, it's best to ignore them, or flag and ignore them.
