I think down voting is somewhat foreign to most of us and why there is a need for it more than ever today. If you look around at the various tribes there are some very bad actors. When I was in England there was a saying"taking the piss" and that is exactly what is happening across the spectrum.
Users that have been on here just to plunder like pirates and they don't give a toss about you and me. I have been in sportstalk for the last month and I am happy to say that things are happening slowly and I have noticed certain abusers being blacklisted already. This is reassuring that the community is doing something and hopefully it will gather pace and fix what needs fixing.
What I don't understand is people voting these users and not looking at the bigger picture. These accounts and there are many are posting what we would call as spam or shit posts and not one or two but multiple posts each and every day. After the seven day pay window they are selling everything at the Steem Engine exchange and are then sending it to their accounts and out to Bittrex or another exchange.
The one account I looked at last night has only been around for a month and two days ago sent 500 Steem to Bittrex. There is more stashing up now and it will go the same route. Users are still supporting this type of behavior and they need to catch a wake up and fast.
Not only is this behavior of dumping tokens putting pressure on the tribes tokens, but it is also going to impact on the Steem price. If an account that is barely 30 days old can plunder close to 1000 Steem what are the others up to.
I have worked too hard to see the Steem price drop and will over the next few weeks use every down vote possible and more. Curation should go out the window as this is more important if we want Steem to have any value in the future. These tribes I thought would help Steem and help bring in new users, but it looks like the wrong sort has come in. This type of action cannot be allowed to continue and I plead with everyone to wake up and get involved.
I know Sportstalk has a discord and users are highlighting abuse. I hope the other tribes are doing something similar as if they don't they will be in trouble. No one will invest into a community that is having it's token constantly dumped.
