How to Get Blacklisted by MinnowBooster




Do you know what these names have in common? I mean, besides being collectively blacklisted from using Minnowbooster services?

Names:

@mani0005
@vijaymaurya

Taking a deeper look at these accounts reveals some troubling facts...

All these accounts seem to belong to same person or at least to the same group of people. Similarities start with same post handwriting, going from the lack of content, with just one smartphone photo, up to the same boost amounts, same low effort on all posts and same usage of tags. Leaving out the exact nature of our tools, users can verify the basic connections between these accounts by just taking a glance at their wallets.

What's alarming, is how fast a spammer's ecosystem can grow, if not put to a quick stop. Making accounts is easy and encourages spammers to create more low quality content.

What's wrong with these posts?

Some users tend to argue with us, that all photos are an art form and don't need additional text. But a simple smartphone photo of a half-eaten sandwich wont't do.

Boosting every photo that you have in your image gallery and doing that with more than 20 accounts has clear signs of intention to farm post rewards and abuse the Steemit platform.

Yes, the platform is monetized, but the monetary rewards are intended to go to people, who actually have put work and thought into their content.

Let it be noted again...

Minnowbooster won't harrass you over your post length, but we see low quality farming efforts from a mile away and refuse to boost your posts to the HOT section.

Through our efforts to clean Steemit up from time to time we find users that think they can abuse the system. Many times they are able to get away with it for a while but if you remember a while back we announced our new secret weapon, the @MinnowBooster Spam Detection tool then you'll know we mean business when it comes to preventing bad actors from abusing our service.

When it comes to making the Steem blockchain the best it can be @minnowBooster is truly committed. Help us in identifying bad actors like this and we will be happy to give them an all access pass to our growing blacklist.


Why choose @Minnowbooster?

Minnowbooster strives to provide a truly investor-class model for Steem investors who are either not good at curating content or do not have the time or inclination to do so and would prefer to earn a "Masternode like" competitive APR return on investment with daily payouts, and simultaneously empowering the community and stimulating the attention economy of the Steem blockchain.

Thank you again for your continued support as we work on providing the most socially beneficial toolset on Steem.

Our team will continue to move forward to equip you with the services you need to succeed on Steem!

Pretty much sure you meant Steem there.

BTW, good job!

@transisto.

hopefully their project is getting smoother and more advanced.
this is a good job and a great Steem project there

Hi @transisto nice to trip over you here, I have just read haejins open letter to you, and would like to add a few points, I was talking via a comment to hendrix22 a few weeks ago, sure the post was about haejin though I never mentioned him, or the post content, add to this I have never even commented on a single 1 of heajins crap posts. Hajin came along and downvoted 1 of my posts, and sent uradick and btu to downvote two others, merely for talking to hendrix22, guilt by association eh!, so while he bitches about people like bernie downvoting his innocent sheep, take into consideration how far past that haejin takes his anger out on innocent people. It took @fulltimegeek to come along and re upvote my posts to get them back to normal, something I am very grateful for. Just letting you know the other side of the coin.

Good comment @transisto. Following you right away

Good thing these guys are caught and banned. Spammers like this not only make Steemit looked bad they even prevent legit authors that make quality content from buying large votes to boost their articles. Which is a big loss for the community as we could potentially lose talented authors. Therefore, great work @minnowbooster. Your actions would greatly benefit the community and would hopefully help great authors get their will deserved rewards.

it looks like @mantiroy is associated with these accounts also

Good! At least someone is making sure this platform won't lose it's credibility and future value. That's WIN-WIN for all of us :)

hopefully their project is getting smoother and more advanced.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention ... Our team @reggaemuffin and @furios-one will have a look at this account

i need another robots

I'm sorry I was being hacked! I have deleted the spam and working on clean up! Love and Kisses @marie

I appreciate your time and effort, indeed tools will help in detecting plagiarism, and spammers. The blacklist must be shared across others like cheetah, steemcleaners etc. There are still many spammers in Steem ecosystem. Keep doing it and make steemit free from spams.

very good post kerry on
