What is the Steemit Defense League?

Steemit Defense League is the creation of @camillesteemer after being flagged for spam and plagiarism. He decided to create accounts abusing Steemit Inc sign up delegation to flag anyone who flagged him. Over time the flags started to target anyone who supported those who flagged him and eventually just randomly targeting anyone and everyone.

While the flags are meaningless at only 1/10th of a cent, they have confused, frustrated, and disheartened a lot of Steemians.

In my last post I talked about how Steemit Defense League has changed their strategy and are instead are pretending to be bid and resteem bots trying to trick people into sending them liquid Steem.

Steemit Defense League is now 205 accounts all created using Steemit Inc delgation. As of right now, every one has had their delegation revoked. You can see the full list of his accounts here.

Merged Pull Request

https://github.com/steemit/redeemer-irredeemables/pull/34

The above repo is the redeemer-irredeemables project where I have successfully worked with Steemit Inc to remove their delegation as well as other spam networks.

The latest pull request #34 removed delegation from 28 new accounts.

Currently, Steemit Defense League is powering up micro amounts of Steem across all accounts but have slowed down creating new accounts.
