I wonder if this can be considered "abuse". after all, the misleading posts generate votes, and also the vote-buying (which is the majority for these posts) is taken from the reward pool.

you are right, there could be many reasons why he can't respond. I also understand the idea to automate posts like these. however we are seeing lots of people leaving the platform and bots and bot votes

these look like automated posts. i wonder if the winners were actually chosen by a person or if this was automated as well. now it is basically spam and false advertising.

Thanks for doing this @themarkymark Got another one here: The sad thing is that real users have to wait 3 weeks for their free steemit account approval and at the same time we see dozens of free accounts

interestingly, it sounds much less frightening if you say "manure" instead of "fecal matter". </useless_knowledge>

great :) it looks like a bread loaf. why is that?

yay :) that's quite a trip.

Hello. Is this a valid question?

flagged for plagiarism and for promoting in steem chat general (and arguing about it).

this guy wants to start a flag war. so be it.

Flagged for impersonating another user's account. You might want to consider starting a new (original) account, I doubt this one will be of any use. Also, flagged for promotion in steem chat #general .

Welcome to steemit! Been to Crete once and it is such a great place .... going again soon and am really looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing your story :) upvoted, followed an resteemed!

Awesome work! Welcome to Steemit :D

Thanks :) The place is certainly worth a visit. We were there on a Sunday and even though more and more people were arriving throughout the day, we were pretty much on our own most of the time.

Thanks :)

Thanks :D

Thanks! There are actually 2 more lakes - another one closer to the mountains and a smaller one in between. It's not a very long walk - I hope next time I'll have enough time to visit all of them :)

Welcome to Steemit, Jade Marie! :-D
