The account farm with... over 2k trash users (!!!)


source

Scrolling the newest publications and checking plagiarism randomly, I couldn't notice, that 9 posts published nearly at the same time looked very similar. All of them have been made by the users with the same reputation, from the accounts created exactly at the same time, all were without any photos, with one hashtag made of 4-5 random letters without the meaning in any language. The hashtag each time was different to make it more difficult to track them. Each of the mentioned posts was including a few phrases (sometimes just one), in less popular languages, like Maori, Hungarian, or Creole (Haitian), and had no sense, looked more like the random piece of text taken from somewhere else.

Looking at the profiles, I could notice that one profile is active only for 24 hours, producing at that time 7 posts. Yes, in all 9 cases the activity was exactly the same - seven posts published hour after hour, all spam quality. It's not the posts that took my attention but the comments. Every account creates spam comments that are upvoted after 2-3 days with over 300 similar accounts.

I tracked 12 "authors" in that content farm. Each two of them have +- 300 followers (empty accounts, all created in December 2021 and all using the SP delegated for the Newcomers) that upvote exclusively them. We have six pairs like that (or more - that's all that I have detected though), so in total there are over 1 200 fake accounts, using 18 000 SP delegated from "steem". The rewards seem to not be claimed yet. Maybe somebody plans to claim them all at the same time, right before withdrawing.

That's the accounts active today. Check the quality of the posts then go to the comment section and scroll down to 5-6 days ago to see the income (upvotes usually are distributed in the last few days, although some accounts have the upvotes in 3 days old comments):

https://steemit.com/@wagayu
https://steemit.com/@hictbp
https://steemit.com/@velinasob
https://steemit.com/@vfade
https://steemit.com/@ipatabram
https://steemit.com/@evgrag
https://steemit.com/@elenanlk
https://steemit.com/@vapodim
https://steemit.com/@vawias

Seeing how many accounts are in that one farm only and knowing that most likely there are tens more somewhere on Steemit, I'm changing my mind and agreeing with @stef1 that introducing the payment for registering the account or at least skipping the delegation from "steem" account to the new users is a good idea. @stef1 was writing about it here.

I'm not really sure who should I ask for blocking those accounts or at least canceling the STEEM delegation to them. Most likely someone from the dev supporters. I would be grateful for the guidance and suggestion on who should be informed in that sort of situation in the future. Right now, I will tag @steemitblog and @steemcurator01 and, just in case, @spidemen - admin of Steemit Dev group (although that user was active last time 2 months ago, so I'm pretty sure someone else should be tagged instead).

Here is the list of all farmed spam accounts linked to seregaf and elenanlk accounts only. There are at least 1400 fake accounts more, linked to the spamming authors mentioned at the very bottom of this post. Tracking and blocking them I'm leaving in the hands of the Steemit Inc. team though.

Some of the rewards have been downvoted. We have 100 000 SP for now, so our activity is limited. Join the downvote trail to help us work more effectively. We managed to downvote approximately 5-6USD (detailed report will be published from @ac-cheetah account with the whole week's activity summary).

Accounts will be reviewed after some time to check if the abusers are still active.

Only the upvotes

    Greetings my friend @papi.mati
    For a long time I had been looking for this type of accounts, I see that it is necessary to activate me again to join forces and try to fight them, It is very true, I think there should be a filter to reduce these fraudulent accounts circumstantially.

    Here I show some accounts found by me, most of them had their SP delegates removed.

    https://steemit.com/hive-187187/@adeljose/spammer-account-report-5

    Possible option.

    Eliminate the delegation by Steemit to new users, and generate a condition where you can not delegate to users who have less than 5 SP, so that they are forced to generate a minimum deposit of 5 Steem, promoting the investment culture from the beginning.

    Hey @adeljose! I'm excited to read your post, my dear friend!

    For a long time I had been looking for this type of accounts, I see that it is necessary to activate me again to join forces and try to fight them

    Yes, please! We can clean the platform, but it's not the job for the one person, together as the community of the bloggers we are stronger and more effective.

      Hello, @papi.mati, I wonder have you gotten any answer from the curators if they are gonna fight 1-sentence posts with hundreds of dollars rewards? I remember you've demonstrated such a post of Chinese user. Just interesting.

        As far as I know, Stemcurators are not going to fight with the bidbot abusers directly, it's in our hands. Most likely to protect the value of the STEEM and SBD.

        It's too early for me to take care of that. The ac-cheetah activity is limited by the power it has, so now I'm focusing on the abusers who are earning up to 6-7 usd daily. It's still a lot, more than endplagiarism team could do without the trail.

        I can imagine, in a long term we would be able to do it. If all the communities that receive the booming support would join the downvote trail, we'd have the downvote VP similar to the SC and tens of downvotes distributed at the same time would protect from the revenge. It's the long term task though - Rome has not been built in one day :)

          Great, thank you. I doubt it will be happening very often, but who should I tag/alert in case of finding a content farm in the future? Should I inform you or is there any other, direct way to let the team know about the abuse?

                  Currently, I am on vacation until the 13th of February, but I am constantly downvoting some abusers. I will most likely write the report tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, pointing out the new abusers that has to be downvoted.
