RE: HardFork Series: A Behind the Scenes Peek
You guys are working so hard… I’m inspired to go get another cup of tea right now and get back engaged in my day! We need all the inspiration we can get in the crypto ecosystem right now. Trailer poster, Contest, Fundraiser … and the Liberty Dollar looks awesome! Upvoted / Resteemed !! Peace
Thank you @clumsysilverdad! We're working incredibly hard but are having a whole lot of fun too! What's your favorite tea? I'm a huge fan of Chinese green.
Replied with wrong account
@steemcleaners, what do you mean? What's the modus operandi in these cases?
If someone is informing about the fishing attack we need to thank them, and you guys for the great work.
Let me know what we need to do next to help.
Sorry replied in the wrong tab above. No commenting before breakfast I should know better
As @patrice said he hid the comments informing people about the dangers of the phishing link. With his high rep this also damages both accounts but not the rep of the phisher because he doesn't have high enough SP to do that. No one can hid rep 65 and above posts.
Now I have to ask myself why would anyone flag informational posts about a phishing attack? Only reasons are total lack of care or a compromised account. Both result in people not being warned of the dangers. A rep 75 should know better.
Thanks for the support. @ericvancewalton flagged the replies to twinkledrop below informing users about the scam. @beerbot is a general info bot. I have @zoee now commenting directly under the post that the stolen accounts are posting too instead of as a reply. The scammer is using a large white image to make the comments hard to see with replies.
No amount of flagging the comment will hide it unless we can drop the rep below 65. Which most of us can't do.
Thanks @patrice! It was all a misunderstanding and thank you for you guys for all you do!
I know it must be hard to deal with all these scammers on the daily basis, just know that many of us appreciate what you guys are doing for the platform.
If you need us to do anything in these cases, let us know. :)
I apologize @patrice. I was confused by all of the comments. I've unflagged the comments for @beerbot and @zoee.
Thanks. It is confusing. I've moved @zoee's comment up a level for future comments. The phishing is going to be a problem if it spreads to more 65+ reputation accounts.
Thanks for safeguarding and educating us all. Together we can beat it.
There is no way to hide the phishing link in @twinkledrop's comment below. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't downvote & hide the notice that users clicking on the link could have their account stolen.
Green is great, but I gave up coffee a few years back so I usually need a punch in the face from a cup or two of Earl Grey/Black Tea to get me going. (-:
