RE: Bitcoin (BTC) $8,144.98 USD
Dear @postpromoter and @yabapmatt ... If you care about a healthy economy on steemit, the community would likely appreciate you blacklisting this reward farming spam very much.
tips hat
He replied and has blacklisted. Wished he would unvote though so our flags can take greater effect.
Scammers not making ROI'ing on a single post is a weak deterrent in my opinion. The consequences are not great enough. Their rep taking a hit would really make the sort of impact we need and also deter others due to the increased risk.
I've made it a policy to flag each @postpromoter comment on posts like this (unless they are unvoted) but may go a step further and flag the comments with rewards as I do not think the bot should be rewarded for tolerating their voting power be used to facilitate abuse. Quite the contrary.
I will do the same for any other bot I find complicit with this sort of thing. Blacklist is not enough. Scammers like this are gaining ground every day.
