RE: A Guideline Reminder from the Church of Piglet
Unfollow all vote buyers
I am tempted to do this but I do have some friends that are otherwise ok. Do you have any list of excessive vote buyers? These are the ones I would like to weed out from my feed.
On the topic of muting, I wouldn't want to mute any abuser because I would like to to rather be aware of the abuse and flag accordingly. Muting is this blockchain equivalent of sweeping it under the rug. This problem will grow if we ignore it and we believe moderation is the responsibility of every user with their stake. The more eyes on the better.
I did want to inform you that you also can get rewarded for flagging abuse. Check out @steemflagrewards if you would like to participate. Hell, its better than self voting albeit may require a bit more time. (Basically you get your vote back on a comment plus a 13.6% bot vote thrown in as a bounty if you will.)
P.S. you only get your vote back + the 13.6 if the SFR bot has the SP to meet it it. We used to be able to only upvote maybe 0.07STU and now we can hit about 0.46 so good for mostly minnows and plankton.
Yes. It is called "Trending Page" ;-).
The Church of Piglet itself does not mute for exactly that reason. We do, however, mute bidbot accounts, just to have a list handy.
The Church of Piglet wants no rewards for their flagging activities, though huge donations are welcomed as always.
