At least for now… But there is talk that this troll will rise again.
You may have recently received an unwarrented flag from the username 
So for those who may have felt unwelcomed by this flag abuser, I would like to first apologise on behalf of the steemit community.
R4fken introduced himself as a stand up guy.
In the early days he helped police catfish, spam and behaviours many of us here are happy to censor. The first thing he ever flagged being porn tells me he was never against censorship.
But as we know not all cops are good cops, and one day when faced with a catfish about to make over $4K r4fken got tired of being that stand up guy and resorted to a little blackmail.
You have to laugh because if you didn’t you’d probably cry.
Not only did he attempt to blackmail, but he also let this catfish get away with over $4000.
Despite what r4fken did he was not completely shunned by the community and though he was caught by those who could have destroyed his reputation then, he was treated with mercy. (Probably because they pitied his idiocy)
If r4fken were to return under another account name it would seem it would not be for the first time.
There was once a sweet looking lady named 
The lady in the photo above is actually called Beatriz.
Welcome my friend!
My name is Beatriz and I will take a selfie holding a sign with your name and little cute draws :D >.<

What do you do when you have nothing to lose after losing everything?
What followed was a series of randomly selected victims (mainly noobs) for unwarrented flagging in an attempt to attack the steemit community and take revenge for being censored by the cheetah bot which made him ineligible for rewards.
The damage r4fken caused was mostly just confusion and discouragement for many new users who were unaware of the circumstances behind his attack. This is because he was just a dolphin. A whale can crush a dolphin and so it did.
But anybody could be as villainous as r4fken. What would be the damage if a whale were to enter our community and behave as carelessly as he did?
But if you know how much money World of Warcraft makes on cosmetic items for the game, then you'll know that people will spend wackjob amounts of money to keep playing a game they enjoy.
And considering the way he reacted to his censorship, r4fken must have really enjoyed this game.
Heck it took me 2 years to give up Farmville I wouldn't be too quick to think this is the end...
We can argue that eventually he'll get bored and give up, but in reality even if he does there are others like him out there.
Firstly, we need to be able to better manage plagiarised content:
Learning How to Spot Spun Content
Using Machine Learning to Fight Plagiarism
Secondly, we need to go back and talk about an idea brought up by 
I wouldn't dare speak of this idea without also providing the rebuttal.
To my understanding, the idea would be that at a cost to the curating powers of their own SP anybody can mute the curating powers of somebody else with an equal amount of SP. For example, if I have 5000 SP and you have 1000 SP I can mute your voting powers so that I can now only use 4000 of my SP for my curation.
The greatest issue is the cost simply isn't high enough.
I have just ONE suggestion to make it more difficult to mute somebody elses vote, but I believe this idea is still limited and there still needs to be a higher cost to muting other voters with your own vote.
If the ability to mute a voter only came into effect once the voter lost their reputation, then we would have been able to revoke r4fken and all the sockpuppet accounts of his from both curating for more $teem Power and flagging for pointless revenge. There are improvements to be made also to the reputation system itself, which means in its current form, it may be too easy for one user to destroy the reputation of another in order to revoke their voting privileges. Ideally, reputation could only be seriously damaged if many users of high $P and/or reputation were to willfully crush the reputation of the abuser together.
How rude.
