Hi, Steemit community, @justinsunsteemit, @steemcleaners,
I'm writing to ask for some help, and perhaps hopefully to make a suggestion about newly created accounts, that have no posts, or any investment in the community, or in the platform, but only exist to downvote content producers such as myself and others accounts.
Here is one example of an account, "guesteem", which seems to exist only to downvote other posts, while at the same time, they are not contributing anything beneficial.
Testing yesterday mi account this happened?
This is not the first time.
This becomes fashion here on @steemit, it is easy money for these accounts, and we need to stop this bad behavior.
I would hope that the downvotes from such accounts would have ZERO impact because I have been creating fresh content and invest here for a very long time. But anyone can come along, open a new account (or many), set up some downvote bot scripts and start downvoting actual people, like me.
What is being done to minimize the damage caused by this very serious problem?
What is being done to eliminate these worthless, parasite accounts, which do nothing but reduce the value of the entire platform?
In my case, at the moment I won't invest anymore and I won't use my account until this problem is solved!?
Greedy people take things that don't belong to them, the more the devil has the more they want.
I will create a list of all these accounts, and we will found a healthy solution for our community.
And a healthy future for the @steemit platform.
Successful, and healthy minds practice everyday gratitude, thankfulness these attributes take you to enjoy all the blessings, and enjoy the real treasures in life.
Thank you!
I hope we all together found a solution.
Enjoy your day with happiness and love.
In my case, I am going to enjoy my weekend!

Thank you.
Accounts with 15 SP cannot do any real harm to you if you have others giving you decent votes. Just ignore them and concentrate on the good people. They are not worth your time. I don't know who operates those accounts, but Steemit could withdraw their delegation if they care. Nothing to do with Steemcleaners as far as I know. If an account does not post you cannot downvote them. Steem offers freedom that can be abused.
For some time i accepted that as an excuse, but apart from that it just looks horrible that there even IS an option to downvote..
It is like working to buy a car (write posts) then some asshole rips the mirrors of your car simply because they can get away with it.
So your argument is kinda lame. Freedom does not mean that im free to kick you in the balls 10 times a day because i have money and you don't.
And if you don't get that then I wonder WHY you don't get that.
Are you just a fake account of one of them? Or did you just never think that far and cared to look at this from another perspective.
I have no idea who you are, not accusing you of anything.
It is not about the power. That line of thinking only applies to people WITH power who are not able to see how awfull it looks for the platform as a whole when a bunch of auto-farting assholess are shitting in the reward pool 24/7. ..and then people say aaah, 15 SP thats nothing... IT IS NOT about the power, it's about the little black holes...
just my 0.000000000000002 cents
Steem is like the wild west with no official lawmen. We have to act like vigilantes if we encounter outlaws and that is why we have downvotes. Otherwise how can we combat excessive self-voting or buying of votes for junk posts. As part of @steemflagrewards I have seen it all. Without people like that Steem would be much worse than it is. Many of us care about making it better because we want it to keep going and for good content to get rewarded. I have taken out Steem before to buy stuff, but for now I am just powering up so I can do more to achieve these aims. We all win if Steem grows.
Is there such thing as a Cyber Vigilante Manual?
How to teach people that kissing ass is not the solution?
Well what they did with the soft fork really shows us what kind of game is being played. And unfortunately that will be impossible to undo, as far as I understand it.. This 'should be a warning' for every blockchain, and the users of all blockchains.
The way I see it there are no winners if the bullshit keeps flowing. When someone gains 10 cent and the shit ass that was needed to be kissed to get those 10 cents, makes 1000 steem, and uses that to shit on 1000 people.... Then the 10 cent enabled the bullshit for 1000 more people.
So who is winning is certainly NOT 'we all' is it?
I'm not a positive thinker... But I do think more positive then positive thinkers when i see though the shit. :-)
What a shitty comment...
Whatever. I can see you are not interested in my opinion. Go in peace
@steevc :) Good morning,
Thank you very much for being so kind and taking the time to answer me. You are right.
Yes, if @steemit want and have the desire to clean all these scam accounts will be perfect for new users and the entire platform.
In my understanding, everything here should work perfectly. Many more users would invest more money, and we would have many more new accounts open every day than we have today on the platform.
Let me tell you a have a plan, and I will focus like you advise to focus only on the positive. :)
I hope you have a week full of good surprises and much success!
I know Steemit have withdrawn delegation in the past, but I do not know their process for doing this. There are lists on Github. Each Steem front end can decide to filter out posts from certain users.
No platform can be perfect. Steem will be whatever the users make it and some will choose to abuse their freedom. Would you sacrifice your freedoms to stop them?
I work with @steemflagrewards to try and make it less profitable to exploit Steem, but we have limited SP between us. That can earn me some big flags, as in several dollars worth, but I think it needs doing.
@steevc,
The platform is abuse constantly by downvoting. I think these are trolls.
Maybe?
Trolls account for operating with different profiles, and it is easy money!
These accounts don't need to invest and do any can or job, absolutely nothing.
Clean profit for their packages without cero investment.
In my opinion and the opinion of others here @steemit we all know this is a big problem that needs 911 help!
To create a better, and successful future, more investors and new users.
As I have said, people are free to be trolls, but when they have so little effect we can ignore them and concentrate on the good aspects of Steem. They don't get me down. If you see others being harrassed then give them a vote and a comment to cheer them up. It's all about the people.
This is not trolling, this is abuse of power.
and it is not doing the platform any good. And that's the point here.
i think i agree with that.
@bifilarcoil,
My friend my advice is taking a little break, and don't let this negatives account take a position of your happy, healthy soul, and hearth!
I will take a break since here on @stemit everyone are confused and @Steemiy need to fix internal problems at this present moment.
I, for example, focus only on what is really important. When we can't fix things here @steemit is better to let it go...
I really appreciated your effort to try to do the best, but sometimes is impossible.
These downvote accounts are running by criminals. Until the @steemit platform paid attention to the lost, we can do absolutely nothing.
I think with this "Unethical behavior" the downvote war it is a great idea for destroying the little community that is active today on @steemit.
This is an Unethical behavior with massive fraud accounts.
I really miss the old @steemit when everything was peace and harmony.
Unethical indeed.. But it always was like that..
We can do one thing.
Never be positive UNTIL things actually prove to be positive.
Steemit sux, but... Lets give mr. Sun a chance.
I have not tried to change anything, wouldn't know how to...
All I can do is use my freedom of speech and communicate how the shit shimmers in the moonlight.
@steemcleaners,
Please check these accounts,@guesteem, @trimcor, @wraist, @partycro, @drefuko, @skramatters, @raclim. This is a group of accounts that will make profit downvoting other accounts here on @steemit.
I will make a long list of these accounts on Monday at this time I have to go with my family, but I will come back to investigate more. I hope you can locate these on the @blacklist or closed these accounts for fraud or spam.
Thank you!
A poetic attempt to describe the shit.
As long as big ass whales are pissing in the reward pool this place will reek of stinc.
@bifilarcoil :)
Good morning,
Thanks for the answer. Yes, I have to write the shit in some poetic way to see if I can find a solution and maybe we find any end to this big problem.
In other people's eyes, this downvote war with no reason at all, and at the same time doesn't look "kosher" in investors' eyes and new users.
Ha, ha...ha... I think you are absolutely correct my dear friend!
Big whales should pay attention to the details here on the platform. In the end, the whales are the most profitable here on the platform.
Have a wonderful week my friend @bifilarcoil :)
This is just as real life.
@bifilarcol :)
Yeah, our real sad reality!! :)
Creamy shit on ice cream.
