RE: I run @sadkitten so you don't have to - dealing with massive amounts of spam
@personz - This is a great initiative indeed. I recently ran across an Ad in one of the bitcoin forums while researching data on Steemit to BTC relationship for my recent article. I was shocked to see that a person was offering Steemit accounts and a voting bot for money. Here is a screenshot:
Such spam accounts defeat the very purpose of Steemit interaction. They will clutter up comments section, preventing any meaningful discussion. They will also turn Steemit in to a money grabbing scheme and attract all sorts of non-intellectual and greedy people. I would be really sad to see that happen to a great plaform like Steemit.
I do not have any great Steem power to delegate but will support with any legwork that is required. Please feel free to contact me for something I can help with in your efforts. Thanks. Upvoted. Will also vote for you as witness.
