Content farms
The content farm detected by @papi.mati has been closed now. All accounts are not active anymore. Besides that @the-gorilla has found one more content farm related to the account of @dtubebd. @the-gorilla has prepared also the script that helps to detect farmers - thanks to it, removing cheaters will be much faster and more effective.
Two big fish will sink soon
Our current task is to fight with two abusers who are using the bidbots in the most unethical way. Bidbotters are not illegal per se, and if they are regular bloggers or photographers, they don't have anything to worry about. Those two accounts are milking the system, stealing the money without sharing any posts.
The first user is angryseason - they share every day the same publication with the single sign of ".", just to get the rewards from upvu. That way every day they are getting 3.12 USD. We are downvoting all their rewards and will continue doing it until the account will start sharing original, high quality content or until the user will leave the platform.
Second account belong to tramb who is using tipu and cash out the rewards for sharing one sentence long posts without any significant meaning. That user is earning 22.00 - 23.00 USD for their posts. We are not able to reset it to zero yet, but we managed to downvote it to 17.00 USD. That account also will be visited daily.
For the admins and mods
Every report includes the list of the abusers who shared plagiarism, spam or any other content against the rules. Make sure people suggested to block (with three or more abuse cases) are not able to publish anything in your community. People marked with the warning (W1 or W2) should be allowed to participate on Steemit, but it's worth to keep an eye on them and always double check what was posted from that accounts.
The cases detected after publishing first report has been marked as "NEW"

Rewards distribution
@ac-cheetah is not oriented on earning the money, so most of the rewards will be invested in developing new tools or, optionally, powering up to fight with plagiarists more effectively.
The income from all the future @ac-cheetah posts will be distributed between multiple accounts:
- 40% will go to @alexmove who is working on the automatization of plagiarism search on the platform. The money will be used to pay for external professional tools that detect plagiarism (the cost is 0.01 USD per post)
- 20% will go to @alejos7ven (10%) and @symbionts (10%) for launching the downvote trail tool and their support
- 20% will go to @papi.mati for the manual work on searching abusers, downvoting, and for writing the reports
- 20% will be used to make power-ups with the @ac-cheetah account
As we received a few delegations and we have some SP now, we distribute it on a daily basis to reward our account and team (by doing it we follow the request of our biggest donor). The rest of the votes are used to upvote community accounts of some random communities. The priority have the community accounts that joined the downvote curation trail.
Hi @papi.mati,
if you visit the #krsuccess tag, you will find countless farmers who only rely on the autovote. What they all have in common is that they have not been active for two months.
There are MANY - I can't even downvote that many.
Do you have an idea? Do you have an idea, @the-gorilla?
So the #krsuccess tag automatically gets you a (pretty much worthless) upvote and encourages people to post crap? I didn't know that.
This post is an interesting read, along with the comments if you get some time.
@papi.mati - great to see all of the team are now following the downvote trail - that's some incredible power you have at your disposal now 👍🏼 I still have some lists of old friends that would probably benefit from a visit at some point 🚩 This post includes a few candidates.
Yes, unfortunately. One vote corresponds to about 0.02 STU. If you use hundreds of accounts every day, it's worth it. I believe that this battalion of rep ~40 all belong to a single spam bot.
When I'm bored, I always click through.... Not much fun, rather annoying.
I read the article (didn't you see my vote, haha...). But to be honest, I didn't really understand how the game is supposed to work. Oh well, I'll wait and see a bit. For now, I'm just glad that something is happening at all!
Oh, I see... a bunch of them transfer their money to emon01199 who presumably wrote the bot.
I'm feeling bored.
Ha ha. I guess not 😆 I'll write a proposal at some point. I think it could work.
Will check it as soon as I'll come back home. So much joy!
Good point - following that tag is like jumping to the swimming pool with the manure. Many abusers easy to detect.
Since today and thanks to xpilar team, our downvote power increased to 1 million (!!!) SP. I'll be downvoting it manually for now, there are resources to do so. I'll be intensively thinking how to make that work half-automatic and easier in the future.
@chriddi, thank you for the delegation you gave to steemkidss. We didn't see active post to give you upvote that is why we came to your comment. Do have a lovely day. If it pleases you, you can consider increasing your delegation to steemkidss. It will be highly appreciated
