RE: Turkish Curation Scam + Circle Jerk @baharoba and @yoonjang0707
The Korean community had to deal with yoonjang and his affiliates' dealings a few months back, which you can see in @abdullar's translation of @atomrigs' original post. We suspected some major foul play when he jumped ship and claimed he was focusing on the Turkish community with baharoba after being ousted for circlejerk activities with affiliate/fake kr accounts.
Thank you for such a thorough report and your communal efforts @steeminator3000.
Well with your feedback I'm 100 percent sure that this is a huge circlejerk I hope this posts get visibility and all the people can see. We really want to rebuild an honest community.
You've got full support from me and many KR members.
Thanks a lot I wish yoonjang and bahar repplies to this post after this issue ended we will createa a new curation team. We can't support this scam. Hope many people sees this post.
It should be noted here that yoonjang was one of the Steem Guild-supported Korean accounts. That was apparently the original circle-jerk, which would explain why donkeypong was able to step in on this Turkish nonsense...they were both part of the Steem Guild BS.
This is what happens when you "curate" based on country tags or other irrelevant factors. Just upvote the stuff that you like. It's really not that hard. If some of that content happens to be from a Turkish user, then great!
We'll probably see the same things happening with Italian curation, Indonesian curation, and any other voting agendas that look at factors not related to content.
I agree with you @ats-david Supporting a user only based on nationality is wrong and even a bit racist. I have already said this in the Italian group.
They are just the content they have to count ....
This is true but it is also true that Korean community has purified and made a healthier community now. There were many trials and errors but we always attempt to find answers.
Well I agree you in most parts. Nation shouldn't be a thing in 2017 but expressing yourself in your own language is a really important key factor.
As far as I can see, the Italian community is healthy. We have an Italian Telegram group moderated by reputable Steemians such as @bhuz and @thenightflier and, as far as I know, most posts with the #ita tag originate from our community.
Yes, I'm familiar with the community. My point was - how long until sock/spam accounts are created in order to take advantage of the curation occurring under the country tags? We have seen this play out repeatedly. If someone can exploit the process, it will be exploited. We should find better solutions for content curation instead of doing the same thing over and over again, then pretend that we're shocked when others are able to easily exploit it.
Well, I suppose there's no substitute for human attention and supervision. ..which is the beauty of curating!
