How To Get Flagged On Steemit, Contributed by Anonymous
Directions for Use:
1. Do not.
We all love getting flagged. It brings each and every one of us joy when we see those rewards removed from our posts and our reputation knocked down a peg. Earning these flags takes a special set of skills and tactics, so listen up!
If you're going to leave comments, make sure they're generic
Never take the time to write out personalized, thoughtful comments. This will rarely earn you flags and may even get you some upvotes. You need to ensure your comments are generic enough that they can apply to almost any post. Here are a few examples of comments that may get you those flags you're wanting:
Great post!
Nice!
I like your post
I upvote your post, please upvote mine
Let's spam
Now it's time to take your generic comment and make sure that a lot of people see it! Copy and paste that sucker on as many posts as possible. You may run out of bandwidth, but don't worry, you can come back in a few hours and do it all over again. When you spam comments like this, you're sure to get some flags.
Advanced users only
Now that your skills are progressing a bit, I'm going to teach you a more advanced strategy. This time, we're going to focus on a particular hashtag. Instead of posting comments that are generic enough for all posts, now we'll post some that are related to the "food" hashtag. Try to think up some good comments that any food blogger would love to see. For example, you could try these:
Wow, you have some serious skills. That dish looks amazing!
My mouth is watering like never before. Be right back, gotta go make some of this for myself!
Let's spam again
Repeat the same process as before, except this time spam post your comment only on blog posts under the food hashtag. Post your comment on as many food posts as possible. Don't be alarmed if this more advanced skill earns you some upvotes. Once people realize you're spamming the same comment on everyone's food post, you'll most definitely get some flags and any rewards you would've earned will disappear.
Getting flags on blog posts
Now that you've learned a couple great ways to earn flags on comments, let's focus on earning flags on blog posts.
Put up a blog post
The first step to earning flags on your blogs is to make a post. You probably don't want to do any work yourself, so go find an excellent article from a well-known website. Copy and paste the entire article and don't give credit to the source. Remember, it is flags that you seek. Citing your sources may prevent you from getting flags you would've otherwise received.
Time to pump that post!
You'll need some Steem or SBD for this step. We're going to buy some votes and get this guy near the top of the trending page! You'll need to use several vote-buying services since no single vote-buying service is capable of pushing your post to the top.
Once your post is high up on the trending page, it will get a ton of attention, which means a significant potential for flags! If you used this plagiarizing strategy, it shouldn't be long before someone recognizes that it's not your original work. Once that happens, you should see the flags start to pour in!
While there are many other ways to legitimately earn flags, I hope this post will give you a good place to start.
I was tempted to write 'Nice post' but then, I thought 'not today Satan' :) .
great post, you actually got me on that one. i initially thought about about flagging in a different way. thanks for the tips @communitycoin
I always try to post related comments. There are many flagger criminals in steemit. how do we avoid them?
I love your thoughts on this article. but in my opinion, steemit as a business medium, sometimes a good one though not enough to attract or earn great rewards, especially small accounts. Even if there gets it sometimes. What's wrong with that. This dilemma since there is bot upvotes of course.
