Aha - Didn't think of that - I saw some users reporting abusive whales by sending a very small amount of SBD and writing in the memo but the steemit.chat is probably the way to go.. I suppose I can do my part with down voting the obvious spam of the newer accounts that really couldn't harm me as a whale could destroy me.. Bernie is a BEAST huh?? I saw some of the whales he went after and he definitely has some major bot vote power to shut down abusers...

Hopefully an algorithm of some kind can be built into the platform so people like him do not have to manually do all the work.. Thanks again for the insight and I will certainly resteem any posts shedding light and info on building strength in numbers to rid the Steemit abuse
