    Quick question: What is this animalcontrol shite giving you hundreds of upvotes? Maybe you have a post on it?

      Animalcontrol is fulltimegeek’s bot that spams 6,000-35,000 times a day and he upvotes with his 500K+ SP.

      I assure you he doesn’t give me upvotes. In fact he has been flagging all my comments and posts for the last 3-4 months because I blacklisted his spam account @proboards.

      I don’t see where you see upvotes because all he does is spam and upvote it.

      I have two posts a few months back that go into detail. Look for the ones with the baby as a thumbnail image.

      It's sad to see this sort of spiteful behaviour on Steem and it does a lot to put off new users. There are certain people who do some good stuff, but I find it hard to support them when they also attack others. Even safer when these attacks are used as an excuse to take even more rewards.

      You know I've done my share of flagging and had retaliation for it. That's the risk I accepted. One issue is that most people are scared to flag certain accounts as they know they could lose their own rewards by doing so. I had wondered if there could be done way to flag anonymously. There was a previous effort where people delegated to a bit that flagged a certain abuser.

      Steem is far from perfect, but I still see potential. Those with the power have to decide if they want it to have a future.

      Yeah, I remember that. Wasn't sure it was owned by him as well. So he's upvoting his own spam, so classy. I misspoke when I said he was upvoting you.

      And there are people left here that still think he's justified in doing this? Wasn't this over 60 steem or something? Insane. This would be in the dictionary next to 'shitting where you eat'.
