Removable Rewards (2018-04-12)
So sorry I haven't been posting much lately! I'm still struggling with my database and the public datasources are not entirely reliable. Fortunately, I'm making a lot of progress on my own infrastructure so I will stabilize everything soon and start posting regularly again.
That said, here are a few posts to consider removing rewards.
@dpflr
This account repeatedly makes the comment 'dpflr' which is continually upvoted by @pangsoyun and @twinbabies

This account is a little outside my normal realm of duplicate comments, but is definitely relevant to consider. First, a little background.
This account is totally new.
The first few posts on this account had very few votes and no rewards, but they caught on quickly.
It began by pulling in roughly 20 STEEM.
Then, this was used to feed the upvote bots in a cycle that now has this most recent post already trending at $155, even though it is an obvious plagerism of this website. From the looks of it, this entire account is plagerism.
I noticed this account used @buildawhale on a couple of these posts, so I reached out to @themarkymark to let him know and he took immediate action, removing nearly $50 in rewards and blacklisting this user to prevent further abuse!
Does anyone know how to connect with the other bot owners to ask them to consider removing these rewards?
In other news, @johnsil realized the upvote was removed.

Still using synonym replacement "method"
Now also includes 'Photo source' which is actually the article being copied.
How considerate.
