Yup. Gotta keep tabs on the scammers/fraudsters/leechers/spammers/hackers; and all of the communities within Steemit need to stay in contact and exchange information on the accounts that are causing issues in their community/group/whatever.

A good example of why this is needed is the recent incident with @chiefmappster. He was/is a problem in various camps, yet we all sat back and stayed quiet hoping he would either change or go away on his own.

That did not happen, he just got worse and ended up on WhaleTank (where they raise funds) using our project's name and making false claims about our project in the broadcast and posts on Steemit and profiting off of our project and attempting to further profit by lying saying we shut down operations.

He had nothing to do with our project outside of playing horrible poker on our site and berating players at the table and in chat, yet was allowed on WhaleTank to raise funds using our name.

This should not happen, ever, and I take full responsibility (but would like some screening on shows like this in the future please) because I had EVERY intention on telling @officialfuzzy about our issues with this guy.

I got so far as to type everything out in a private message, but decided that perhaps it was just me, maybe I'm just being too judgemental about this guy, and decided to see how things went with him at fuzzy's chat.

Had I or any one of us spoken up sooner or spoken to each other sooner we could have booted this cancer from our projects/community a lot sooner. With the recent phishing attacks on Steemit users, the situation in steem.chat with bilal and everything I've mentioned above it would benefit all communities/projects operating in/around Steemit to stay in contact and report accounts that are causing problems.
