(Edited)

Funds from this post will be used to reverse bid bot abuse votes

Good Guy Viking - Placed at top because I thought it was a much cooler thumbnail.

It looks like our "good friend" @crystalliu continues to use as many bots as possible on their repetitious copy/paste content.

Exhibit A

Already on @steemcleaners, @smartsteem, and @buildawhale blacklists.

I plan to use the funding from this post to reverse the @promobot votes so @crystalliu takes a loss from the attempted reward manipulation. Would also ask that @transisto consider placing the user on a blacklist. They have already been reported to @dtube and the sketchy nature of the activity has been noted.

Thank you, @heimindanger, for taking a look into it.



The staff of @booster has also been notified. I have heard somewhere that they sort of a Steem Police so I'm optimistic that action will be swift against Crystal. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated, Mr. Viking.

Note: I don't know if @fyrstikken will ban @crystalliu or not. I just kind of hope he will. Hopefully, this dope meme will help.

That's all I have for today folks. Wife has designated tonight as our time to binge watch shows on our trial of Netflix so no work on SFR today. (I tried to protest but she wasn't having it.)

Catch me on the livestream manana!

Hopefully, my fedora comes in from ebay and I can do the CringeCoin bit.

Would you like to delegate to the Steem Flag Rewards project and promote decentralized moderation?

It's much more fashionable than self-voting.

Here are some handy delegation links!

50 SP 100 SP 500 SP 1000 SP

Also, here is my SteemAuto fanbase link if you would like to be one of my consistent supporters.

Conspiracy theory: crystalieu is the vote overflow account for promobot.

It does count for 30-40% of his business but I don’t think it is him.

I'll go and send him another flag. It's just a few cents, but eats into his profit. His cynical abuse is bad for Steem. Anything the bots and other services can do to reduce it is appreciated.

I do find it a bit comical that promobot wants more Steem to counter the abuse it promotes. The bot business must be getting tough these days. Gotta do whatever they can to get a slice of the pie. Lol.

How many other accounts does crystalliu have? Plus have you ever translated some of their text?? It’s pretty nasty to say the least.
Keep on Keepin’ On!!

If you want to have an effect, then after down voting the post, you should go down the comments and down vote each and every bot he used. With a comment, example: "Your comment was downvoted because you are allowing a known abuser to use your service", or something similar.

Bots are a part of the steem system, there will always be people willing to use them to their maximum benefit. The only way to prevent this is to down vote the bot also when it is being used. This may or may not wake the bot owner up that they might want to ban that person because they are bad for business.

Often we will flag them citing bid bot abuse by proxy. If they unvote, then flags should be removed. That is an incredibly rare occurence however.

Do you know by chance what's going on with not being able to see comments on one's post? I've seen a couple people complaining about it, calling it ghosting or something of that nature. I left a comment on one of their post and though I could see it in my comments I couldn't see it on their post. Tonight I was looking at my blog and there are now comments that were there a few days ago gone but I can still see their replies in my replies. It says there are suppose to be six comments but none of them show up on the post.
