I posted yesterday about @steemitag commenting with steemconnect links asking accounts to delegate their entire stake. And you guys immediately made your feelings clear, with enough downvotes pouring in

Important - Read This First If you've received a reply from @steemitag (and probably an upvote), the steemconnect link in that comment will delegate all of your SP and your account will be completely locked.

I was beyond excited to see that I've reach 500 followers already! And in just a month. I deeply appreciate all the support I continue to receive from the community and I consider this a significant milestone

Community Feedback Earlier today I got this reply. I want to show absolute respect for the parent author posts I'm commenting on so I've recently rolled a whitelist to allow accounts to prevent me from

@somesteamer - Some excessive commenting I ran into this account today and it's pretty absurd. Every 30 seconds we see another reply stating exactly: Excellent post! It's over 100 comments and counting

There are some more of the bid bot upvoted comments tonight, and they are not to repair the damage of downvotes like we saw a couple of days ago. All the rest are barely above dust. linkauthorrewardshours

Softer Tone I recently posted asking for ways to soften my tone and I received some great feedback. It's clear I need to find or write better posts outlining ways for new users to engage with the community

Respect the Post Authors Right at the start, my comments were MASSIVE and truly disrupted the posts I was commenting on but fortunately I quickly evolved to solve this. Then, I realized that some would

Just a nice, quiet Saturday. Looking forward to less spam and more days like this. linkauthorrewardshours postjorgedr0id$0.0910 postjorgedr0id$0.0910 postodracir80$0.0712 postpagli$0.0418 postpagli$0.0418

My favorite tonight is this comment: hahaha,,,, i like your post Which was pushed to the top of the page by a $1.23 upvote by a bid bot . I've just been stumbling across these but now I'm going to see

So, I realized I haven't taken the time to celebrate those accounts that are helping to flag the spam I'm reporting in my Removable Rewards posts. It's been about 2 weeks since I've posted this so there

One thing I realized tonight is that I'm not seeing the same names in my list too often, which is a positive sign. I'm going to start looking at this further to see how often accounts continue commenting

We've got @macross8299 and @kent747 still commenting "w" endlessly, but fortunately at a fairly low payout. linkauthorrewardshours posthynix$2.7511 postsujonmia$0.9919 postmacross8299$0.0421

Our new circle voting friends are in the list pretty heavy tonight, but nothing else too exciting. linkauthorrewardshours posthynix$2.7212 posthynix$2.6712 postrakibulislam55$0.3115 postcryptosoul55$0.0616

Floodgates are open Earlier today I noticed some downvotes coming in. Like flooding in, to the tune of nearly 1,000 total downvotes today in just a few hours, all at -100%. I've been trying to figure out

Voting Circles I widening my scope a little and have found a few new interesting things. Most of what's new tonight are a form of voting circles that upvote every comment by these accounts. You'll see

I've been digging into the data around parent author votes and it's mostly showing what I expected, these are mostly random accounts without any identifiable relationship to the parent. I'm trying to validate

Shorter Lists I appreciate that my list has become much shorter, but this is because there are many other posts--by these same spammers--that are often unknowingly voted by the author of the post. I'd

It's been awhile at this point, but we have a few of the comments upvoted by bid bots at over $1 again tonight. linkauthorrewardshours postsyedshakil$0.0515 postemilniz$0.2222 postsyedshakil$0.0422

So, quite a few less tonight because last night an important question was asked. This is something I've completely overlooked that could easily turn against me. I'm happy to say I have tweaked my algorithm
